Science is a global human endeavor HISTORY OF GREEK SCIENCE GREEK SCIENCE is strongly associated with Athens, because of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Aristotle inaugurates scientific zoology in his reliance on careful observation. He is particularly acute in his study of marine life, having much to say on the habits of fishes, the development of the octopus family, and the nature of whales, dolphins and porpoises. He is also a pioneer in attempting a system of classification. Observing an unbroken chain of gradual developments, as the life of plants shades into that of animals, he acknowledges the complexity of the subject and seems almost to glimpse the pattern of evolution. 3 Science 16th century 1543 – Copernicus: heliocentric model 1543 – Vesalius: pioneering research into human anatomy 1552 – Michael Servetus: early research in Europe into pulmonary circulation 1555 – Vesalius: no holes exist.

M. Benjamin and N. C. Barnes Department of Respiratory Medicine, London Chest Hospital, London, United Kingdom Corresponding address: S M Benjamin, Department of Respiratory Medicine, London Chest Hospital, London, United Kingdom. E-mail: [email protected] Date accepted for publication 1 March 2004 Abstract Heart transplantation was and is still recognised as a medical milestone. Its ability to offer a second chance of life to people with end-stage cardiac disease is its major triumph. Dr Christiaan Barnard’s work was instrumental in realising the actual possibility of conducting a human transplant, and provided the framework for further advances in this field. He deserves due credit for conducting the first successful human heart transplant. Keywords Cardiac transplantation. Introduction Heart transplantation is one of the most widely publicised medical advances in the last century. Dr Christiaan Barnard accomplished this historic medical feat on December 3, 1967. The potentially life-saving operation immediately captured worldwide attention, lauding him with much deserved praise for his outstanding work in this field. Heart transplants Earlier experiments in heart transplantation were carried out in laboratories using canine models. As early as 1905, Alexis Carrel and Charles Guthrie [1, 2] first attempted transplanting the heart of a puppy into the neck of an adult dog. The heterotopic heart immediately resumed cardiac contractions lasting approximately 2 h. Dr Norman Shumway and Dr Richard Lower of Stanford University performed the first orthotopic heart transplant in 1960 applying principles of topical hypothermia for graft preservation and immunosuppression in order to prolong graft survival times.

  • The World's First Human-To-Human Heart Transplant at Groote Schuur
    This open-access article is distributed under Creative Commons licence CC-BY-NC 4.0. GUEST EDITORIAL The world’s first human-to-human heart transplant at Groote Schuur Hospital: 50 years later Fifty years ago, on 3 December 1967, the world’s first human-to-human heart transplant was performed by Dr Christiaan Barnard at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town. This was, and probably will remain, the most publicised medical event of all time, making headlines in nearly every international newspaper, magazine and tabloid within days of the event. The idea of transplanting a heart from one human to another captured the minds and imaginations of the public like no other medical event before or since. The only other iconic event in that era that was equally well publicised was man’s first landing on the moon 18 months later. This medical breakthrough was published in the SAMJ 3 weeks later, towards the end of December 1967, and is one of the most cited articles in this journal. The first heart transplant placed Groote Schuur Hospital, the University of Cape Town and South Africa (SA) firmly on the international medical map. A heart transplant was seen by the public as transplanting the very soul of an individual from one person into another. It provoked tremendous debate, some of it very emotional, around the ethics of transplantation and spurred on the international medical and philosophy community to develop the concept of brain death into law. Many countries took decades to adopt such laws – most notably Japan, which took another 30 years (until 1997) to allow organ transplantation from brain-dead donors.

He was 45 years old when he made medical history and was swept up by a vortex of Stellenbosch, South Africa worldwide fame.
