At first thought, I would agree with you. But I was six years old at the time of the first heart transplant.

Now, I have a friend who is a pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon and does 60-70 pediatric heart transplants per year. Some of those surgeries include lung or other organ transplants at the same time.

And that is just at one hospital!

Medical science is unbelievable right now.

Correct. And the bioartificial kidney will just be the first since it is basically a kidney on a chip. After that you can expect to see liver on a chip, lung on a chip, etc..
