Pain makes man think.
Thought makes man wise.
Wisdom makes life endurable.

New spinal implant gets 3 paralysed people up and walking

"A paralysed man with a severed spinal cord has been able to walk again, thanks to an implant developed by a team of Swiss researchers.
It is the first time someone who has had a complete cut to their spinal cord has been able to walk freely.
The same technology has improved the health of another paralysed patient to the extent that he has been able to become a father."
