Beating heart in a box

Yes, you read the headline right. It is now possible for you to keep a heart beating in a box. The video is stunning:

Heart beating in a box - CNN video

The technology is expanding to other organs.

So, how long before we can keep a brain alive in a box? And how long before we can interface the nerve pathways from that brain to a computer? At that point, we can consider discarding our bodies.

Comments:
That video is sick! I am using "sick" in the way teenagers do, to mean awesome.
 
Crazy...

Sort of the same concept of a heart-lung machine, but without the whole 'heart' part. :-)

I would imagine this has been done in the past, but now the components are small enough to make it portable.
 
Edgar Allen Poe would appreciate the video.
