October_30th's Journal: Man with no pulse - let the cyborgification begin! [UPDATE]

Cool!

MONTREAL -- A 65-year-old Quebec man who received a new long-term mechanical heart last month is being described as the only living Canadian without a pulse. Dr. Renzo Cecere implanted the "Heartmate II" mechanical heart into Gerard Langevin in an three-hour operation Nov. 23. Officials at the McGill University Health Centre say the device, which is about the size of a flashlight battery, could last up to 10 years.

Artificial eyes, repaired eyes, artificial pancreas, artificial hands and other artificial organs (sorry - there's no artificial replacement/upgrade for THAT organ, yet!).

The future looks good.

Update: Diabetes no more!?
