Western people rely on technical and mechanical solutions in everything they Refrigerators preserve their food, washing machines clean their underwear and computers are supposed to solve all their problems When they are ill, they rely on the surgeon's knife If their hearts are running down, then they must be repaired; if they cannot be repaired, they should be replaced, just as an old car sometimes gets a new engine But up to now we had a shortage of donors to give their hearts: to keep one person alive, another donor had to die
Nowadays there is more and more talk about using monkeys Every monkey has a near-human heart, and humans have always been over careful in respecting the lives and well-being as other animals This includes the life and well-being of other humans Therefore in the early years of the 21st century - I was told - the mass killings of monkeys may occur We'll need to use their hearts for human consumption
Monkeys, on the whole, are happier creatures than their near relatives, Homo Sapiens, or man They know fear, of course, and they face real dangers, but they are also more intelligent than us They create no unnecessary dangers for themselves; they run no businesses, chase no money, are unimpressed by gold - that utterly useless metal, and they not care at all about hell or evil spirits I have a vague feeling that it is not monkeys' hearts that we ought to implant in ourselves but monkeys' brains
