Brain-computer interfaces allowing the paralysed to walk again.

A full body exoskeleton has been created which allows the paralysed to walk by using their thoughts to move them. They use a neuroprosthetic device with a highly advanced brain-computer interface driven by neurochips implanted in the patients skull.

    This statement here, just BLOWS my mind! '^_^ It is very exhilarating that we can now proceed to do these kinds of things! Just think of how much farther we are to come! who knows; maybe tomorrow we will have flying cars for christs' sake!! V_V
    Of course, however, who's to say this is just merely a 'Good' thing, eh?

    You cannot own and proceed with the good, for surely, the bad will follow suit.
