10/26/1881 ... The Shootout at the OK Corral.
Normally, this would be the coolest event that ever happened on any particular day, but I say 'NO.'
10/26/1984 ... A 14 day old infant known as "Baby Fae" received the first Baboon-to-human heart transfer and lived for 20 days with the new organ. Sadly the child died but in the last 23 years science has gone forward enough that if we replaced a human's heart with a baboon heart today; "Baby Fae" would have lived much longer. There is no way to tell if the child would have taken on any of the attributes of a baboon - but who knows, it could have happened...She may have been able to climb better, etc...
My question is:
If you had to have animal surgery performed on you, which animal would it be and what attribute would you hope to obtain?
