Today, there are several artificial organs that are commonly used, such as artificial hearts, artificial kidneys (hemodialysis machines), artificial limbs (prosthetics), and cochlear implants for hearing. These incredible advancements in medical technology have greatly improved the quality of life for many people.
Artificial organs include the artificial heart and pacemaker (qq. v.), the use of dialysis (q.v.) to perform kidney functions, and the use of artificial substitutes for missing limbs (see prosthesis).
