using a baboon heart...
the baby died. when asked why the doctor didn't pick a evolutionary closer candidate, the doctor replied " I do not believe in evolution"

Kinda depressing when you think about it...I mean I'm not an atheist, I don't bash them, I have my problems with Christianity, certainly...
but I do do not believe someone should be dealing in saving lives if they ignore hard facts in favour of personal beliefs/religious affiliation.
It's dangerous.
