Plastic Hearts

A seven-year-old girl wrote Dr. Michael DeBakey, the famed heart surgeon in Houston, Texas, a note that asked this question, “Does a plastic heart have love in it?”

Dr. DeBakey replied: “Yes, a plastic heart has love in it, a great deal of love. The love in a plastic heart comes from many people who love other people, and don’t want them to die. So these people work all day and often all night to build a heart that will make people live longer.

“If you think of how much love there would be in hundreds of hearts, then that is how much love there is in a plastic heart.”
