1. Great subject line

2. Damn, this story is not what I had hoped.

I appreciate the guy's courage and my sympathy goes to his family.

[Disaffected]

4. Yes, I was hoping

for a better outcome. It may sound a bit perverse but I also hope his death was unrelated to the transplant (although I suspect that is unlikely).

5. I was hoping the headline referred to somebody else.

Somebody who just had a close call with death, if you get my drift.

3. The first human to human heart transplant recipient lived 18 days

Tragic. Hopefully, it will still be perfected and edge out the need for organ wait lists.

6. This is important to remember. This is only the first try. nt

10. exactly.

He was brave to be first. He may not have had these last two months without the transplant.

7. the cause of death was organ failure

logically.

[Disaffected]

8. How many ways can an individual that age and

with other medical conditions die? Many.

9. People die from organ failure all the time

as the article says.

Only it is odd that the doctors didn't say that. So maybe it's something else.
