Read the paper and read what they are not saying. They say injured spinal cord. Not severed. This may help me because mine was crushed. It won't help most.

It will help some and improvements and growth in knowledge in things involving nerves are all long terms advancements to these more severe examples.

Three cheers for medical science! By far our greatest asset as a species.

The title does not mention or imply severed spinal chord, it just says "permanent paralyzed". Nothing about the how it's permanent.

> Over the last five years, scientists have developed systems that utilize electrical stimulation to help individuals recover from the paralysis that often results from such injuries. These interventions, which have been enhanced further in combination with motor rehabilitation, have changed lives but remain largely unexplained.

What I wonder is whether the age of the injury matters. I've heard before that these treatments will affect the newly injured over us oldies with atrophied/scarred nerves.

We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster...
... unfortunately he's out of network so he'd have to come up with the six million up front.
