“Think of it!  The Edison or Pasteur of tomorrow need not die merely because his heart is worn out.  We’ll give him a new heart taken perhaps from the body of a young man who’s been killed in an automobile accident.  And our great genius is awakened to another sixty years of useful life!  You ask me if that’s a benefit to mankind?  I answer it’s the gift of eternal life!  But whether man’s wise enough or old enough to receive such a gift, I don’t know.  I don’t know!”

Boris Karloff, 1939.
