Scientists Create A Man Without A Heartbeat or A Pulse (HeartWare Technology)
Scientists are once again trying to play God. They have now created a man who is without a heartbeat or a pulse. It is natural. It is not right!
When God created mankind, he created a heart within him so that it could be filled with Christ’s love and also nourish the body.
God created within every human a heart and we need it to live, so that God’s blood, may flow through the body and deliver important things such as oxygen-rich hemoglobin (oxygen binds to the heme portion in the lungs, another of God’s creation), cells of the immune system and even platelets to close wounds. Marvelous creation!
Now scientists are trying to give a way for all this to be bypasssed my friends. Behold their new contraption that will allow men to remove their hearts and replace it with a cold machine.
Behold, an abomination.
Sure I realize that it can benefit people with bad hearts, but what is the cost to our morality? Where will we draw the line?
This story begins with a man in New York. He has lived without a pulse or heartbeat since last fall, thanks to the contraption I have made pictured for you all to see.
Every year, over 300,000 Americans are suffered to be afflicted with death from heart failure, the result of myocardial infarction.
The man who is our subject today, Richard French, is among the first to be outfitted with this experimental heart technology.
About a year ago, French woke up in a hospital ER and had suffered a massive heart attack. His heart was barely functioning.
“To be honest, I don’t remember a whole lot,” French says.
Even the best medications did not give French much of a chance, so he enrolled in experimental trials as a last-second ditch effort. The trials were being conducted through Montefiore Medical Center.
The experimental device he was to be outfited with is called HeartWare.
The device is still in a primitive state, where it cannot be used for more than several months at time.
But, in time, it is meant to give anyone suffering from a heart condition a permanent solution.
Now I may sound heartless for having concerns here, but honestly, when do we draw the line in replacing body parts with things that are not even human.
While this is surely better than cloning, it is still defiling the natural order of humanity. We should not be allowed to completely replace organs with electronic parts. What if the day comes when we can electronically replace a person’s brain or twiddles?
Think of the confusion when you can reprogram a person with a new brain,or someone tries to become an eternal and just switch out brains when the other becomes rusty? What if someone decides to get no twiddles down there and inserts random DNA in there, then attacks someone and you cannot tell who did it?
These are the concerns we enter into if we allow people to start using robotic body parts, so it is all or nothing. Sadly, I think though this technology could save 300,000 lives a year, it could also destroy the quality of life for a planet of billions. So as a jury duty I veto this technology and I beseech you, my fellow court goers, to protest this technology and encourage a lobby against it.
God made humans to have to suffer at times and we have no permission to just totally replace body parts with that of a machine.

“They have now created a man who is without a heartbeat or a pulse.”
Well, if he doesn’t have a heartbeat, I would certainly hope that he wouldn’t have a pulse.
“It is natural.”
You said it, not me.
“What if the day comes when we can electronically replace a person’s brain or twiddles?”
You know, you could just say “genitals” instead of “twiddles”, so that you don’t sound like a complete retard…
“What if someone decides to get no twiddles down there and inserts random DNA in there, then attacks someone and you cannot tell who did it?”
That makes absolutely no sense. How could somebody rape someone if they decided to remove their genitalia?
“So as a jury duty I veto this technology and I beseech you, my fellow court goers, to protest this technology and encourage a lobby against it.”
Dude, you don’t veto stuff while on jury duty. You realize that you were selected at random for jury duty, right? There’s nothing special about you.

as a jury duty? so what you are no longer a human but merely a concept? that doesn’t make sense what so ever? and even if we make asuptions as what you emnt to say as claire said you have no power what so ever as part of a random jury.
further more it’s easy to draw the line. why would anyone really need a new dick? it’s not life esecntial and as such there’s no need to make a replacement. as for a brain…well if you replace a brain with a computer it is no longer the old person but a computer in a human body. these are entirely difrent as we are close to robotics than to medical care here.
once again it comes down to the people of a “loveing god” wanting to deny life to a huge amount of people.

So Abe, does this mean that you also oppose artificial limbs and prosthesis? What about surgeries, such as total hip replacement, where they replace bone with steel? What about life support? If you’re so against a metal heart, then you must also be against artificial means of sustaining life, right? Because obviously being kept alive artificially was never part of god’s design, was it? So I only hope that you’ve performed your good Christian duty of signing a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order for yourself so that in case of crisis, such as heart attack, pulmonary embolism, car accident, etc, the medical team can’t attempt to revive you.

But Claire, the heart is sacred, and it is with our hearts that we do love God, and do love our fellow man. If we use a metal substitute to love God, then surely this is bordering on Idolatry. This surely is not part of God’s design!

sure a heart is used for loveing if you use cartoon sience. in reality however the heart is nothing but a pump. love is generated in the brain. the heart has nothing to do with love beside the symbolic parts. it is true however that love have an effect on the heart….but not the other way around.

You Americans never could appreciate the true beauty of the body and soul, You say that love can have an effect on the heart, this i agree with, now imagine that this heart was nought but cold steel, the love could not get in, and our Metal-hearted-pretend-man, could never feel God’s love.

Love actually has nothing to do with the heart. The brain is what registers love and releases hormones such as oxytocin in response.
The only function of the heart is to pump blood through the body. The blood receives oxygen during its pass through the lungs, and the contractions of the heart and the vessels continue to pump that blood through the rest of the body, where it oxygenates the tissues.

Well… you’ve certainly bruised my heart… I had romantic ideals before this. Next valentines day i’ll just buy a shot of oxytocin, for myself.

Oh women, you are truly a brow low fool. The DNR of man has no bearing on the will of God.
When I was a college freshman years ago, I was hit by a drunk driver right outside campus. I was a motor vehicle versus pedestrian trauma and only got 2 to ten shots to live. I as not a full Christian at that point but fortunately, my roommate was and he called the local pastor who did university meetings.
Some 60 students and that pastor showed up to the hospital, not everyone could fit in the trauma waiting room. They all prayed and prayed for me, and though the doctors had thought I was all but gone, God. But God!
God saved my life and I defied man’s odds, due to the power of prayer. Who needs advanced directives and end of life forms, when God controls a living will. God is MY durable power of attorney!
The power of God is not in a box and it is by faith that he intercedes in our lives. My faith is in him and whatever he has happen to me, so be it. I pray for good health so I may enjoy my family and friends as much as possible while on Earth, and help others learn how to live their lives more gooder. When my time does come, I will go with a completed heart and appreciation for all the blessings God has given me since bringing me out of that trauma room and hospital floor.

did the doctors try to resurect you? if they did you can consider the car hitting you the act of god. god decided you should die and by being alive you have defied god.

The doctors were working against the effects of the car hitting you. Thus, the doctors are on one side, and the car is on the other.
The car was attempting to destroy you. Thus, the car is on a side against you.
The doctors were trying to save your life. Thus, the doctors are on a side with you.
God could have prevented, but did not prevent, the car from hitting you. What side is he on?

So, basically what you’re saying is that you didn’t need the doctors and machines, all you needed was the prayer, which is just confirming my point that you should have a DNR order because prayer itself can save you.

Hearts pump blood.
They don’t store love.
They are muscles with a singular function.

So, you oppose life-saving technologies, dumb sh*t? What will you do when you have a myocardial infarction form eating one too many twinkies, Abe? Will you oppose any application of life-supporting technology and/ or medicine? I am sixteen, and I am in the process of designing nanobots, of which will repair nervous tissues and other, classified (My idea) operations within the human body. Why can’t God be involved with the formation of new technology, huh? I LOVE science, technology and God, and I am proud of it. What do you have to say now, “Abe”? Please respond.

Your wrong, the heart was not created by God, it was formed with animal evolution and is used to pump blood through your body, not to love Jesus and God.
