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 have had a shortage of donors to give their hearts : to keep one person alive, another donor had to die. Nowadays there are more and more talks about using monkeys. Every monkey has a near-human heart, and human have always been over careful in respecting the life and well-being as other animals. This includes the life and wellbeing of other humans.

They create no unnecessary dangers for themselves, they run no business, chase no money, and unimpressed by gold - that utterly useless metal, they do not care at all about hell or evil spirits.

Since 1840, American presidents elected in years ending with zero have died in office, with one exception. William H. Harrison, the man who served the shortest term, died of pneumonia only several weeks after his inauguration. Abraham Lincoln was one of four presidents who were assassinated. He was elected in 1860, and his untimely death came just five years later. James A. Garfield, a former Union army general from Ohio, was shot during his first year in office (1881) by a man to whom he wouldn't give a job. While in his second term of office (1901), William McKinley, another Ohioan, attended the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. During the reception, he was assassinated while shaking hands with some of the guests. John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 in Dallas only three years after his election..

<span class='text_page_counter'>(4)</span> Three years after his election in 1920, Warren G, Harding died in office. Although it was never proved, many believe he was poisoned. Franklin D.
