Description
   A poster comparing and contrasting the situation in Israel vis a vis the situation in South Africa regarding heart transplants.

The poster shows two hearts, one on black background and one on white background. The one on the black background is headed "in Africa" and has the word "with permission". It contains a news article in Hebrew about the first heart transplant in South Africa, and the words in large print --"to save man".

The other half, on the white background, has a news article about a heart that was stolen (without the family's knowledge) from a woman who died at the Tel HaShomer Hospital. The heart has the word "robbery" on top and the words "for personal advancement" in large print at the bottom.

There is one other area where the two countries are contrasted--underneath the information about the South African transplant it says "on what is understood and simple in the land of Apartheid and ..." hard struggles in Israel that espouses democracy".

          
Paragraph 2    The first human-to-human heart transplant was performed by cardiac surgeon Christiaan Barnard at Groote Schuur Hospital in South Africa on the 3rd December, 1967 by a team led by Dr. Christiaan Barnard. The patient was Louis Washkansky of Cape Town, South Africa, who lived for 18 days after the procedure before dying of pneumonia. Barnard transplanted a healthy heart from a deceased patient, the donor, Denise Darvall, who was rendered brain dead in a car accident.
