Naki’s contribution was an outlaw act, a criminal offense under the laws of apartheid due to the difference of races; the law forbade him to cut white meat or touch white blood. Naki was perhaps the second most important man in the team that day. There were few photographs where he and Barnard appeared together, but because of the nature of society was Barnard who won the world’s attention.

  • I CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW in HEART TRANSPLANT
    CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW IN HEART TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS AT REST AND DURING INCREMENTAL EXERCISE by JONATHAN DAVID SMIRL B.Sc., The University of Victoria, 2004 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in College of Graduate Studies (Interdisciplinary Studies) [Health and Exercise Sciences] THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) September 2011 © Jonathan David Smirl, 2011 i Abstract Pathological impairments to cardiac output may impact cerebral blood flow (CBF). Prior studies on heart transplant recipients (HTR) have reported increases of 25-53% in CBF, 1-6 months following transplant. It is currently unknown if CBF is chronically altered in the years following transplant or during progressive exercise stress, when compared with aged- matched controls (AM). Donor population controls (DC) were included to determine if the responses observed in HTR are related to the age of the donor rather than the individual. The aim of this thesis was to examine the influence of long-term heart transplantation on the regulation of CBF velocity (CBFv) at rest and during incremental exercise. Two hypotheses were tested: 1) CBFv would be similar in HTR when compared to AM, but lower than DC; 2) that during incremental exercise, the HTR would have reduced elevations in CBFv compared with AM and DC. To address these hypotheses, HTR were tested who have a reported inability to acutely increase cardiac output during exercise. Seven male clinically stable HTR (62 ± 9 yrs of age, 9 ± 7 yrs post-transplant), seven male AM (62 ± 7 yrs), and seven male DC (22 ± 3 yrs) were recruited for this study.

  • Locating the Moment of Death
    three Locating the Moment of Death For some time thoughtful men have been increasingly troubled by the present attitude in the medical profession: “You’re dead when your doctor says you are.” Desmond Smith, The Nation At the end of the 1960s, when transplant surgeons first contemplated the systematic use of patients believed to be irreversibly unconscious as a source of human organs, a new legal definition of death was urgently needed to prevent physicians from being charged with murder. It was essential that the new death be a diagnosable event and that it be timed to allow the removal of organs while they remained “fresh” and rea- sonably well oxygenated. No longer based on the commonsense notion of the end of life—a failure of the heart and lungs—the new death is determined by the condition of the brain alone, even though the body clearly remains biologically alive, albeit with mechanical assistance. Identification of the moment of brain death was designed primarily to avert legal complications, but it was also necessary to reassure the public. The very existence of ventilator-dependent patients raised two concerns: first, the fear of being counted dead before one’s time and overhastily designated an organ donor; second, the fear of being kept alive too long, as a “vegetable,” with severe, irreversible brain damage, but not technically brain-dead (Pernick 1999:4). Although this development has depended on technological innova- tion, it is rarely attributed to technology alone. The ventilator is simply a tool at our service. It is the moral status of “living cadavers” as alive or dead that has been troubling.
