the funny thing is I'm being entirely serious. I need a heart transplant and if I survive I want to turn my old heart into burgers and share them with my girlfriend and boyfriend.

Would you be able to get your old heart tho? I don't imagine hospitals give back organs to people

the doctor said I can get it back. though it'd be in formaldehyde and after they did sciencey stuff on it, not sure if its still edible at that point. if eating it isn't an option I'll make pendants out of it. cut a part off and put it in a little glass vial.

Well I hope everything works out for you and you get to achieve that goal

Is there enough substance to turn it into burgers, plural? An average human heart is, what, fist-sized I think? Seems to me like you'd get one, maybe one and a half patties out of that, no? And you probably can't even use all of it, I'd assume.

A pure heart burger probably wouldn’t be good anyways. You could mix it with another meat

I have dilated cardiomyopathy so my heart is humongous. and yea I plan to mix it with other meat

Did we just solve healthcare?

That's why I eat lots of chicken from the worst methods of rearing when having an infection: cheap antibiotics.
