Old men planting trees.
Honestly. He's helping pave the way so that people who have heart issues could potentially have replacements one day. Not just old dudes, but kids too.
Even if pig hearts never pan out, he got 6 more weeks with his loved ones.
That's a nice metaphor.
friendly reminder that you do not need to be old to plant trees. If you have a choice to take part in a scientific study, please do. Its usually quite easy.
personally for me it was a double blind study about tapering from steroids. so a month of tapering (or not, idk, it was blind), and then a few phone calls over 6 months.
Thank you so much for participating in that. That's not an exciting thing to study, but man it's important in deciding what's the best course of treatment for patients. Your life might not have been on the line, but I still think you're a hero and I appreciate you.
aww thank you so much
Humanity thanks him for his sacrifice
This comment is so good I read it aloud to others. You win English today.
It's a paraphrase. "Society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit in." There are many versions across history. But no matter its source, it's a lovely sentiment.
