A surgeon about to replace the organic heart of a dying man contemplates the virtues of metallic vs. organic life.

I can’t say that this story has ever done anything for me. It has always seemed vaguely pointless—the concept is rather interesting, but the point is so obvious and the ending (frankly) more than a little confusing. Not a top notch tale by any means.
