But anyway it's pretty incredible what modern medicine is capable of, and how alarmingly fast the field is growing. | ||

It's not a miracle, bitch, it's math! But anyway it's pretty incredible what modern medicine is capable of, and how alarmingly fast the field is growing. As an electrical engineering student, the control system that controls the pump-machine is 10 times more significant than the actual pumping.  | ||

What is remarkable is that the solution the body has found to the problem of pumping blood is so much smaller, more efficient and more durable than the best mechanical alternative we can come up with. That with all our science and technology evolution still outdoes us so much. Evolution has been going on for more than a billion years. Is it not truly remarkable that we as a species after only about 100 000 have started to catch up? (Of course us developing the ability to replace natural body functions with artificial ones is in itself a result of evolution, but you get my point.) | ||
