> Heart pump man thriving
> Peter Houghton is enjoying his new lease of life
Actually he was at Transvision in Berlin. Both as guest and speaker. I must
say that I found it quite a bit more emotional than I would have thought to
meet him. He simply wouldn't be alive today if not for the pump.
For many people a meeting with a person like Peter would do more to show
what Transhumanism is about than all the Sci-fi, technlogy and science that
the rest of us like so much.
... here's some pictures:
He was a very personal and humane speaker, that's reacted to his longer life
in a way the rest of us can only aspire to.

The bag he is carrying is the batteries:

The plug above his ear is the power plugs to the pump. His heart function is
up to 50% from only 10% before the pump, so a power loss would not be fatal,
but a cause of possible cloggins.
