...staff of Baltimore's Sinai Hospital, Berman gave up his general practice in 1962. During a busy career as a surgeon, he pioneered such things as plastic replacements for worn-out human parts (he created a plastic esophagus for cancer victims), made one of the first heart transplants between dogs in 1957, and at the peak, earned $80,000 to $90,000 a year.

And the doctors did not kill the animal first. To prepare the baboon, a robust 57-lb. male, they put it under an anesthetic, then replaced its entire blood supply with human blood of the same type as Mrs. Voogt's. Nearly five hours later, after the animal's heartbeat and circulation had stabilized, the baboon was ready for the hookup with Mrs. Voogt. The surgeons deftly...
