Creating a beating heart

University of Minnesota scientists say they have for the first time created a beating heart in a laboratory. The discovery offers hope that the technique could be used to create a fully functioning heart. So far researchers have only conducted the experiment using rat and pig hearts, but they hope one day their technique will work on human hearts too.

Could near term results for humans be achieved by using this technique on pig valves? It is a commonly replaced part, but still requires a lifetime of anti-rejection medications.

@IbonedDerekDsister There are places where no one gives a damn about people: their food, water, air, shelter, so why try to rescue ones ?

Death is essential, it cleans nature's errors, germs that have grown stronger, lives space for new.
