It's cool like uncle Walt's head being kept in cryogenic suspension deep down in the Disney vaults.

Wow. Just amazing.

I am glad that DARPA is involved to give these to veterans who wish to have them.

This is the beginning of something imagined but never before done. The more I think about this, the more applications I can imagine. Most of the research will initially focus on medical and military applications, I imagine. Perhaps within my lifetime, these cyborg treatments will become commonplace.
