- donnydarko319, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Why donate to the Smithsonian? There's tons of politicians in DC who seem to be lacking a heart.
- Smeed, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4You forgot "But will it run Linux?"
- quentinp, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5You can have my aritifical heart when you pry it out of my cold dead...
- Jarasmen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So how about Artificial Intelligence now? We already have a long, long waiting list >> http://digg.com/topusers
- TheTaoOfBill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm getting ads for artificial insemination in Argentina for only 4375 USD...
Sounds like a deal to me - bugsy187, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Is it me, or does that doctor look like George Bush?
- steven401, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why am I getting loads of Google Ads on the side about Artificial Lawns? :)
Only £9.99 per square meter apparently. - Ozzy73, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Its a pretty good historical artifact to show future generations of real pioneering
- zalewis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2huh! i just saw this today! it's right next to the c3p0 and r2d2 models, in the "treasures of american history" setup at the air and space museum. it doesn't look anything like the caption - it looks like two jellyfish clumped together with tubes sticking out.
and if you do happen to go to the air and space museum, you'd better not buy that astronaut ice cream crap. $4.00 for a packet of sand. ugh. - Dorkbot101, 2 hr 51 min ago, -0/+1screw you. the best part is the astronaut ice cream!
- kaplanfx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah the picture in the Article is the Jarvik 2000, its a relatively new device. What you saw was the Jarvik 7, the first artifical heart that was actually implanted in a patient.
-Kap - ServAce85, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1here I posted a picture of the heart in the museum on this blog.

that was not a jarvik heart
i agree with you @zalewis - kd1s, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So someone has lived for 6.5 years thus far and is still alive with an artificial heart. I guess they work well so how come we don't have someone in the U.S. living with an artificial heart for that long. It's because of our screwball system of approvals.
- rshu4you, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I left my artificial heart in San Francisco
- adamdigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The photo in the article looks like it's captioned incorrectly: "Dr. Robert Jarvik holds the 'Jarvik 2000' during a news conference at the Caen hospital." Looks more like a toy model of a heart. I'm pretty sure the real one is a pump made of stainless steel.
- rachelyo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If you want current information about the Jarvik and how it really is working and saving lives, check out www.syncardia.com - kd1s is onto something... there's more people in europe using it than in the states...
- Reaganomicon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I'm so sad that heart didn't get to kill any more people :(
- KniteWulf, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Yeah, that there's my heart. It saved my life, but I got rid of it.
- CurToast, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Dr. Jarvik had a dream.
A household dream.
The Sun has made a note of his face. - bitt3n, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1how did the Smithsonian bribe its way to the top of the donor list? my grandma could have used that heart. she gave me a pack of twizzlers for christmas, so it's obviously six sizes too small.
- TheTaoOfBill, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3While we are getting jokes out of the way let me get these out of the way for the digg people who have to do them in every single article despite them not getting funnier everytime they post it...
"In soviet Russia dentist keeps artificial heart alive for 112 days"
"1) Donate artificial heart to museum
2) ????
3) Profit!"
"But will it blend?"
