The heart is placed on ice prior to a transplant because your heart could get damaged if it gets too hot.
Removing a damaged or poorly working heart and replacing it with a healthy heart can improve one's health dramatically. My son received a heart transplant after his own heart began to fail. Prior to his heart transplant he was unable to walk more than a few feet without being out of breath, he was tired all the time, he was pale and his skin was clammy and cold to the touch. Within days of his transplant he was walking blocks, felt full of energy, his skin turned pink and he felt better. The heart does all the pumping of fresh blood throughout the body and blood carries oxygen to help the various organs and skin function better. A heart transplant saved my sons life through the remarkably generous and unselfish act by a family who had lost a loved one. I am forever grateful.

The first lung transplant was attempted by Dr. Hardy at the University of Mississippi in 1964. This was not a successful procedure. The first long-term success with single lung transplantation was performed by the team at the University of Toronto Thoracic Surgery Group in Toronto, Canada (at the Toronto General Hospital) in 1983. The Toronto group also performed the first successful double lung transplant in 1986. Prior to that, the Stanford University group performed the first successful heart-lung transplant.

Prior to mummification the organs were placed in 4 canopic jars. One each for the stomach, lungs, liver and intestines. The heart was kept inside the boday as ancient Egyptians believed this was the seat of the soul so it was left in the body. The organs were placed in the canopic jars as the Egyptians felt they would be needed in the afterlife, so they were not mummified.
