Western people rely on technical and mechanical solutions in everything thdj do. Refrigerators preserve their food,washing machines clean their underwear and computers are supposed to solve all their problems. When they are ill, they relyon the surgeon's knife. If their hearts are running down, then they must be repaired; if they cannot be repaired, they should bereplaced, just as an old car sometimes gets a new engine. But up to now we have 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. Everymonkey has a near-human heart, and humans have always been over careful in respecting the lives and well-being of otheranimals. This includes the life and well-being of other humans. Therefore, in the early years of the 21

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, ofcourse, and they face real dangers, but they are also more intelligent than us. They create no unnecessary dangers forthemselves; they run no businesses, chase no money, are unimpressed by gold - that utterly useless metal, and they do not careat all about hell or evil spirits. I have a vague feeling that it is not monkeys' hearts that we ought to implant in ourselves, butmonkeys' brains.
