   ROME (Reuters) - Italian doctors have saved the life of a 16-month-old   
   boy by implanting the world's smallest artificial heart to keep the   
   infant alive until a donor was found for a transplant.   
      
   The doctors at Rome's Bambino Gesu hospital said the operation was   
   carried out last month and made public this week. The baby, whose   
   identity has not been disclosed, was kept alive for 13 days before the   
   transplant and is now doing well.

   So if the baby is wanted, and it lives, then it's good news.  But if   
   it's not wanted then it's just "tissue", no different than fingernail   
   clippings.   
      
   I don't understand people's reasoning on this.
