I have to cringe a bit, though, at Victoria Gray's comment that "God did something great for me." No, it wasn't God, it was the scientists who figured out how to do this. Maybe if you were a religious person you could thank God for the scientists' brains, but I would hope she'd acknowledge the actual people who did the work that changed her life. Thank the scientists and the doctors, please.
