Doctors in Louisville, Ky., decided to seek a donor human heart to transplant into Michael C. Jones, 16, who is being kept alive by two external pumps helping his diseased heart. Jones, of Madison, Ind., remained in critical condition at Louisville Jewish Hospital. His natural heart was destroyed by a viral infection, which has now subsided. His kidneys have also failed, and he will be placed on a dialysis machine while awaiting a heart transplant.
