...twelve-man team of physicians and surgeons headed by Dr. Keith Reemtsma emphasized that the Davis transplant is no science-fiction spectacular. Said Dr. Reemtsma: "We have taken every precaution with this transplant. Even if it should now fail, we could still defend its use ethically and medically." One factor that gives this operation a better chance of success than the woman's is that her transplant, from a 25-lb. monkey, had small capacity.

Although four cardinal moderators were given executive mandate by Pope Paul, they soon found that they had little operable authority over the twelve council presidents or the six-man secretariat of the council. And in much the way that a committee chairman can bottle up a bill in the U.S. Congress, the Curia men in charge...
