Interesting operation.
We'll learn a lot even if it fails.

if it works we are officially living in the future

OP here.

He talks about reconnecting the spinal cord. This is amazing.

And we got proofs that this already happened with mice.

I'm so excited about this.

Plus, he's from my city. DOPE.

Yeah, that's exactly the thing.

People who think that this is not going to work say that if it does, they'll feel like Cro-magnon doctors.

v has come to

To me it is an odd goal. The number of people who this work will help is minuscule.

Finally i can be the little girl

Itll be a tad aberrant but eh, getting there

In what respected peer reviewed journal did he publish the findings from the multiple successful operations he obviously had to do in animals in order to do it with some safety in humans?

I dont think the patient will regain any functions of the body, will they? They will still be paralysed. I think regenerative medicine is very interesting, especially in recovering previously dead nerve cells. But I don't think that is the objective of this operation

That shit can be disregarded, and there is two reasons for that:

Reason a) Hes doing it in China.
Reason 2) The patient is going to die with a 100% probability if not intervened.

They know that the principles of fusing the nerves and joining both bascular systems work.
Nobody ever mentioned safety here.

I guess the hype is more about the feat of reconnecting a spinal cord, which is pretty fucking incredible. Even if doing so at the time isn't going to help millions or anything, it's (possibly) a marker of the start of our ability to do some really crazy stuff

>>8814951
That's why you do monkeys first. It's stupid to start basic experiments with humans.

>>8817453
It has been done with monkeys already brainlet

Moot?!?
We thought you abandoned us?!

We must be living in the end times if you have come back to us...

It's really just the world's greatest ARG.

He should be thrown off a building.

No matter how many times this is addressed ad nauseum, people will never stop "brilliantly" bringing it up.
