Too much information...

Too much information.

Mr. Cheney’s pump was placed near his heart. With most patients, a power line emerges about waist level and connects to a controller, a minicomputer that plugs into a pair of one-and-a-half-pound, 12-volt batteries. Patients wear a black mesh vest over their clothing that holds the controller and batteries. They usually cannot shower and have to be satisfied with sponge baths.

Also:

Mr. Cheney, who has participated in some of the nation’s toughest decisions for decades, now faces a crucial one of his own: whether to seek a full heart transplant.

It is a decision he will most likely be forced to make within months. He is old enough that soon he will no longer qualify for a transplant, doctors say. And while it is possible for some patients with Mr. Cheney’s device to live for years, the long-term prospects remain unknown.

2. Cheney won't want a new heart unless he can harvest it himself, from a living donor.

3. I think Cheney should get in line

with (behind) all the other transplant patients who are being denied transplants due to budget cuts.

4. Mr. Cheney was disapointed to learn a heart transplant doesn't involve...

ripping the beating heart out of the victim's chest and eating it to steal their soul.

Mr Cheney is quoted as saying "WTF is the point then?"

5. the real question is- who will he have murdered in order to get his new heart?

Anyone he wants

9. A shame he won't live long enough to serve a reasonable life sentence. nt

[malaise]

11. As a human being I'd be very upset

if that monster received my heart. Maybe folks should write dying wills preventing that coward of a war criminal from receiving their heart.
