Geeks are Sexy posted an article today about a new ground-breaking method of organ transplantation-- keeping the organ (such as a heart) functioning while in transport. Compared to the method of packing the organ in ice in coolers during transit, this will allow for better matching of organs to patients, and therefore less chance rejection.
Video after the jump.
WARNING: Video shows a REAL heart in a box still beating. If you don't want to see that, don't watch it.
