I'm only able to relax when I don't think about my need for a constantly beating heart -- pig or otherwise.


Same, I start to panic if I think about my heart or circulatory system for more than a few seconds


That’s why as soon as there is a reliable mechanical heart I am getting one.

Massive stroke and sudden cardiac arrest are one of the few ways you can just drop dead with no warning I’d love to reduce that risk by half with a fully artificial heart. Assuming of course it’s more reliable than a regular one.

Same with elective prosthetics there will come a time when bionic arms or legs infer a physical advantage.

Hope I’m around to take advantage!
