Why there could be a silver lining in a failed climate treaty.
The age-old debate: should we use the technology just because we can. Quality of life issues are seldom addressed adequately. "Let's save everybody all the time" has led us to an ethical, moral and (dare I say it) financial crisis in medicine. Primum non nocere....first do no harm.

Comment: What bothers me is how slow the medical field is in implementing new ideas such as this. Not only could it save people who have had heart attacks, but it could save thousands of children who drown every year in backyard pools.

If they can use a heart for a transplant hours later then the heart is not dead in five minutes
