New York- In a study conducted over the past ten years, scientists now confirm that the number one cause of death in the U.S. is the heart stopping. Over 50 billion deaths were included in the study, and amazingly enough, none of the dead bodies had any sign of beating hearts.
“We feel it’s a major breakthrough,” said cardiologist Fritz Miller. “Now that we’ve identified the cause of death in people, we can now look towards solutions that will keep the heart beating years after death.”
Methods are now being explored to remove the heart from a potentially dead person, and keep it beating on a life support system. “Naturally, the body wouldn’t have much use at this point, but technically they still would be alive,” said Miller, “and that has the health community very excited.”
Research has already begun to develop drugs that could possibly play a role in keeping the heart from stopping, which scientists believe would keep people alive. However, possible side effects from the drugs could leave people feeling depressed.
