More quotes by Christiaan Barnard
It is infinitely better to transplant a heart than to bury it to be devoured by worms.
Christiaan Barnard
I don't believe medical discoveries are doing much to advance human life. As fast as we create ways to extend it we are inventing ways to shorten it.
Christiaan Barnard
I believe often that death is good medical treatment because it can achieve what all the medical advances and technology cannot achieve today, and that is stop the suffering of the patient.
Christiaan Barnard
Suffering isn't ennobling, recovery is.
Christiaan Barnard
I vowed never again to experiment with such sensitive creatures.
Christiaan Barnard
The prime goal is to alleviate suffering, and not to prolong life. And if your treatment does not alleviate suffering, but only prolongs life, that treatment should be stopped.
Christiaan Barnard
The individual is the brain, not the heart.
Christiaan Barnard
