QC FYI: Men Should Share Their Hearts With One Another

Finally! Irrefutable medical proof that men should put their organs inside each other! A study led by Dr. Eric Weiss, a cardiac surgery researcher at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, finds that same-sex heart transplants have better rate of success than different-sex transplants.

Among the recipients 77 percent of the men and 51 percent of the women were of the same gender as their donors. Those who received a heart from a same-sex donor rejected their hearts anywhere from 13 to 25% less often than those with a different sex donor.
