The impact that devices like these have on society is massive. Obviously right now having one of these would probably shorten life span but with more research you could end up having a device function better than a human heart, without the mess of heart attacks or worrying about fatty buildup etc. Crazy to think about where these things can lead.

I hope you're being sarcastic, because the whole 'only use 10%' thing is a myth.
