Baby Fae:
Clouded
legacy 10
years later
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Christina Falloon gets teary-
eyed when she describes how her
5 1/2-year-old daughter Krysta
recently scored the first goal of
the season for her soccer team.
“If it weren’t for Baby Fae, my
daughter wouldn’t be here to
day,” said the 31-year-old moth
er from Buellton, whose daugh
ter received a human heart
transplant in 1988 that saved
the 3-week-old girl’s life. “We’re
grateful for that baby. It’s sad
she didn’t make it.”
Baby Fae was the 12-day-old
infant who on Oct. 26, 1984 — 10
years ago Wednesday — received
a walnut-size baboon heart in an
operation at Loma Linda Univer
sity Medical Center, 60 miles
from Los Angeles. The first infant
to receive an animal organ sur
vived 20 1/2 days; her full name
was never released.
In the decade since Baby Fae’s
death, the science of suppressing
rejection has advanced and hu-
man-to-human transplants have
been fine-tuned to where patients
are surviving longer.
At the same time, Americans
have been forced to consider the
limits of medicine, the ethics of
subjecting a newborn to experi
mental surgery, the phenomenon
of living with an organ from an
other species and questions of
animal rights.
During Baby Fae’s brief life,
people were fascinated and hor
rified by the prospect of an ani
mal organ enabling her to over
come a fatal heart defect. But
deep within her body, forces Dr.
Leonard Bailey still hadn’t con
quered were working against his
surgical handiv'ork.
Bailey, who was accused of
making a premature leap across
the species barrier, believes he
knows enough now to avoid the
pitfall of Baby Fae’s transplant.
It wasn’t organ rejection but in
compatible blood types that took
her life.
“The important legacy*;
her is she stimulated thecobm
babies could be transplanted a!.;
deserved to be transplanted a
well,” Bailey said.
“We’ve been able to create;
new form of therapy for sever;
heart disease in infants as are
suit of her legacy.”
In the intervening years, b
ley has transplanted hui;
hearts into 250 babies, 173tr.
der 6 months. Loma Lindas
85 percent are alive today.
