In 1927 Lindbergh was the first person to fly non-stop from New York to Paris, a feat most people then thought impossible. In 1930, Lindbergh met Alexis Carrel, then regarded as the most brilliant doctor who ever lived. Lindbergh's sister-in-law suffered from a heart condition that her doctors deemed hopeless, and he didn't understand why they could not simply replace her heart with a mechanical pump. Carrel himself was pursuing similar ideas, and a friendship and scientific partnership began, attempting to build a machine that could keep whole organs alive. They thought that this process could potentially render certain chosen human beings immortal.--From publisher description. 600 12 $a Lindbergh, Charles A. $q (Charles Augustus), $d 1902-1974. 600 12 $a Carrel, Alexis, $d 1873-1944. 650 12 $a Longevity. 650 22 $a Attitude to Death. 650 22 $a Biomedical Research $x history. 650 22 $a History, 20th Century. 650 22 $a Life Expectancy. 650 22 $a Organ Preservation $x history. 600 10 $a Lindbergh, Charles A. $q (Charles Augustus), $d 1902-1974. 600 10 $a Carrel, Alexis, $d 1873-1944. 650 0 $a Immortality. 650 0 $a Life spans (Biology) $x Research. 650 0 $a Preservation of organs, tissues, etc. $x Research. 650 0 $a Medical technology $x Research $z United States. 650 0 $a Medical technology $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Medical technology $x Research. $2 sears 650 7 $a Medical technology $x History. $2 sears 600 17 $a Lindbergh, Charles A. $q (Charles Augustus), $d 1902-1974. $2 sears 600 17 $a Carrel, Alexis, $d 1873-1944. $2 sears 941 $a 6 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926091418.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180125025422.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171003034346.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418061433.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20151001015125.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20150619011107.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C728553A6BEE11DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
