If I only had a heart

PARIS — It is a long-held dream: an artificial heart to replace one that is damaged or diseased. Now, a French company says that it has the technology to make the implantation of it a standard surgical procedure.

How advanced is too advanced? I am not sure how I feel about organ replacements.... While it seems like the most obvious and necessary step against organ disease, I'm just not sure how artificial can be good enough.
