17 h. ago Striving for efficiency is all very well, but it leaves no time to live | Eva Wiseman

Efficiency slices and barges its way through delicate structures, leaving the most vulnerable flailingA recent Apple update saw people waking up to their emails summarised for efficiency, thus creating light uproar, amusement and a series of small domestic mysteries to be untangled on the bus. A man in America shared a message from his mum, who’d told him, “That hike almost killed me.” Unfortunately, he’d read the summary first: “Attempted suicide, but recovered and hiked in Redlands.” Another Apple user opened his phone to find himself, in summary, dumped: “Not feeling romantic spark; apologises for ending things.”I find myself today, against efficiency. I find myself against efficiency at a time when inefficiency is framed as, if not yet criminal then certainly immoral.

Organ appears to function for 10 days, raising prospect of short-term use for those on transplant listA genetically modified pig liver that was transplanted into a brain-dead patient appeared to function successfully inside their body for 10 days, according to the scientists who performed the groundbreaking procedure.The surgery, at a Chinese hospital last year, is thought to mark the first time a pig liver has been transplanted into a human. It raises the prospect of pig livers serving as a “bridging organ” for patients on the waiting list for a transplant or to support liver function while their own organ regenerates.
