At Nautilus: We can’t seem to copy the “natural engineering” of the human heart

Nautilus is the Templeton Foundation’s mag:

The failure to produce an artificial heart is a testament to the wizardry of nature.

Nothing shows more clearly the perfect engineering of the heart than our own failed attempts to imitate it. This history of the total artificial heart is punctuated with both brilliant innovation and continual clinical failure…

Solutions seem tantalizingly close, but no one is anticipating an easy ride. The many failures over the years have certainly produced in scientists a humility and awe for the natural engineering of the heart. – Sian E. Harding, February 14, 2023

So. Blind, pitiless indifference beats intelligence and caring? Some people don’t learn quickly, do they?
