Very interesting article I hope everything goes in your favor!

I wonder what will happen first: We understand the brain well enough to prefect things like bionic arms or; great breakthroughs are made in medicine allowing people to have limbs regenerated.

50 years ago that was science science fiction now its near future very exciting stuff!
