The man with no pulse

[Lifebringer]

So Dick Cheney is B.O.R.G.
Hahahahahaha, I knew the guy was a heartless greedy drone, but this just proves people without a heart should not rule over people that do have one.

I wonder if it was a choice or chance ofr immortality or Voldemort.

something about the pause in between breaths , so too the heart

rhythmic cycles , valves along the way open and shut in sequence , will the vessels atrophy through lack of use ?

how will this affect muscles ?
etc.

Yes that is my point too .. the heart has 4 chambers and many valves which regulate the flow of blood from one chamber to another.
So if the continuous flow of blood like a water hose is efficient and works well for the body Then MotherNature would have given us that.

Like I said there are too many things missing from the story. Will search more on the patient and the procedure. If someone has more information on it - Please post it.

Much love

A very material solution to a very spiritual problem.

When we listen to our hearts do we want to hear the voice of spirit or the sound of a machine that smoothly delivers a message no more complex or loving than the hum of a well lubricated air conditioner?

• The heart contains cells that are comparable in function to brain cells.

• Spiritual teaching universally says there is intelligence in the heart.

• When a human heart is transplanted from one person to another, the receiver begins demonstrating behaviors and expresses traits that are different from who they were before the transplant and are similar to the donor's personality and spirit.

• A pulseless heart, while functional, is only a machine, while the human heart is, among other miracles, made of the only cells in the body that are rhythmic and that power their own movement!

"....What makes the muscle cells in the heart special is the way they suddenly begin moving inside the still-developing embryo. These cells continue beating during transplant surgery, despite all the nerves connected to them having been severed and all contact with the organs around them having been eliminated. Indeed, even when you separate just one of these cells and place it under a microscope, it will continue to pulsate as long as you nourish it with blood.91 Despite appearing to be outside the control of any mechanism, these cells behave as if they had literally taken a decision to beat, pump blood and keep their body alive.
What allows them to beat is the electrical current that passes over them. Every cell making up the heart is literally a living battery. They themselves chemically produce the energy that powers the movement we refer to as the heartbeat. This feature of the cells is too extraordinary to be explained with any evolutionist claim...."

The man without a pulse, Craig Lewis, died shortly after he had the artificial pump installed. His organs were all failing so he declined to continue further treatment. Maybe they just turned his pump off, or maybe he passed naturally as a result of multiple organ failure. He was suffering...this was not a miracle for him.

If doctors continue to use this technology, I bet they will develop an artificial pulse to go with it...just to give people a sense of natural normalcy.

Dick Cheney has the same pump in his chest. His two transplanted hearts rejected and broke down, so now he has a pump.

Actually, Cheney has a different sort of pump. Cheney's pump is a device that attaches to his heart to assist it with its pumping function. Craig Lewis, the pulse-less man had his heart completely removed from his chest and in its place was a simple continuous flow device.

Reminds me of a few documented cases of ppl born with no brain (legit). They eat & look around, do body functions. Very fascinating bc I think these ppl must have a soul. It makes you re-question what exactly this means. Life, definitely. They are humans, supposed to consist of mind, body, spirit. Most don't live long, but the one I think was almost a teenager. If anybody can find a link, feel free.
