Refrigerator preserve their food, washing machines clean their clothes and computers are supposed to solve all their problems. When they are ill, they rely on the surgeon’s knife. If their hearts are running down, then they must be repaired, they should be replaced, just as an old car sometimes gets a new engine. But up to now we have had a shortage of donors to give their hearts: to keep one person alive, another donor had to die. Nowadays there is more and more talks about using monkeys. Every monkey has a near-human heart, and humans have always been over careful in respecting the lives and well-being of other animals. This includes the life an well-being of other humans. Therefore in the early years of the 21 st century – I was told – the mass killings of monkeys may occur. We’ll need to use their hearts for human consumption. Monkeys, of the whole, are happier creatures than their near relatives, Homo Sapiens, or man. They know fear, of course, and they face real dangers, but they are also more intelligent than us. They create no unnecessary dangers for themselves; they run no business, chase no money, are unimpressed by gold-that utterly useless metal, and they do not care at all about hell or evil spirits. I have a vague feeling that it is not monkeys’ hearts that we ought to implant in ourselves, but monkeys’ brains. 41. According to the author, Westerners believe health problems can be solved by……….
