The Bionic Maaaaan~

This wouldn't help all disabled people in any case. Take the example of my father. There's no cybernetic technology in the world that could make him able to use his right arm and leg again, and there never will be.

The reason for this is because his case actually involves damage to the part of the brain responsible for moving those parts of your body. I admit that it's going to help a lot of people, and it's a very interesting discovery, but unless I'm mistaken, there's no way it could help people who are disabled for reasons similar to my dad. I wonder just how many disabled people are similar to him, and just can't be helped in this way?

That's not a reason to not develop this technology, but it might not be as big of a deal as it seems, if it can only help a small percentage of people with disabilities. I'm only using a personal example because it's the easiest way for me to describe what I'm talking about. It also seems as though this will only help people who are relatively young and robust, since it involves invasive surgery.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
