I think Bill Aldridge is the only member (that I recall) who has addressed the issue of 'stopping the heart' and expressing his fear of that thought.
I've not read of any problems restarting the heart VR.com, but that doesn't mean that they don't occur in some small percentage of operations. Does anybody have any statistics on this issue? It's probably a good question to ask the Surgeons. With 98-99% success rates and other issues predominating the failures, failure to restart the heart must be way down the list of bad outcomes (my pumphead can't remember the proper medical words).
I expect most of us either put our heads in the sand and don't think about it or look at it like turning off our cars and fully expecting them to restart the next we want to go somewhere. Knowing dozens of survivors (and NO fatalities), I guess I never had much concern over the issue.
