Right now, the decision as to whether to accept or decline a liver for transplantation is not scientific.
It's based on lots of very soft characteristics related to the donor's history, related to just how the liver looks and feels.
And it's not uncommon for on the basis of these very subjective characteristics for surgeons to make the decision that they don't feel a liver is safe to transplant.
So what normothermic machine perfusion allows you to do is to put much more hard, objective numbers into that decision-making.
It probably improves the liver.
It's difficult to say definitively that it does, but what we see after the liver has been transplanted is that the way the recipients behave is as if they have received a better liver.
Beforehand, we select only the cows that generally seem willing to join in.
For them, it's fun.
Sometimes, during training, they can actually run very fast.
But on race day, some of them don't feel like it at all, and that's fine.
If a cow doesn't want to run, she doesn't.
Yes, but it's complicated.
