...also features first editions and a plaster life mask of the poet done when he was 19 by painter Benjamin Haydon...
Schroeder's death marked the end of a valiant struggle for life, but it renewed debate about whether there should be a moratorium on permanent implants of the Jarvik-7 heart. Though Schroeder lived a record 620 days -- almost a third longer than Artificial Heart Recipient Murray Haydon, who died in June -- it was a seesaw survival that mixed moments of triumph with stretches of pain and anguish for both him and his family.
