In 1967, Dr.

Christiaan Barnard did something new.

He put a healthy heart into a sick man.

The man lived for only eighteen days.

But doctors around the world watched and learned.

Today, heart transplants help many people live for years.

However, a new heart is not always easy to get.

There are more sick people than donor hearts.

So doctors must choose who gets help first.

They look at age, health, and chance of success.

This is a hard ethical question.

Who decides who lives?

Doctors try to be fair, but the choice is never simple.

Medicine can save lives, yet it also asks us deep questions.
