      Yeah the deaths from organ transplants, the risky operations performed as a last ditch effort to save patients who would otherwise die from incurable organ failure, definitely justifies killing 1500 monkeys to allow people to tweet by thinking.

      A transplanted organ is considered a morbid condition in and of itself. The patient is dying, just less quickly than without the transplant.

      I’d think this might have improved with cloned organs, but I don’t think those are common enough to tell.
