[edit] History/Research

I added the expand tag, and the image request. This is a very nice article, and it would be good if someone could add in some of the history regarding the research that was done before Chris Barnard did the first transplant. I know that there was some experimentation done on baboons, etc. There was lots of research done by other pioneers. Knowledge gained by practitioners over time and changes to procedure would be interesting. Sorry I can't do this myself, all of my knowledge is hear-say. Peashy 09:44, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
