About this Event

Title: The story behind the world's first heart transplant


After 34 years as a lawyer then six as a professional photographer, Jon established himself as a cruise ship speaker giving talks on photography, destinations and other subjects of interest to passengers. One such subject was the story of the world’s first heart transplant, undertaken by Dr Christiaan Barnard, which took place in 1967 in Cape Town, South Africa. Jon looks at the life of Dr Barnard and examines the steps he took to put himself into the position of being able to carry out the operation. There were issues of organ rejection, ethics and morals, and even medical espionage. After the operation, how did Dr Barnard cope with the subsequent fame both professionally and personally?
