Ever seen Quiet Place? Aural implants that give hearing to the deaf have existed for a decade now. We can now bypass “bad spine” as a surgeon might say, using simple copper to bridge working sections of spinal nerves, restoring movement and sensation to the paralyzed. Even nowadays Major Depression (a very common cause of disability) is being treated as a *physical* illness, with magnetic resonance machines targeting under-utilized sections of the brain to very promising effect- can you imagine if we could CURE depression?!? That would be a discovery rivaling an end to cancer, which also seems to be a near inevitability in light of recent drug therapies.
