Hope


On edit, for those who think it isn't very interesting, think about your life and think about living it in a wheelchair.

[Frustratedlady]

1. Yes, this is amazing. Imagine all the veterans coming home in wheelchairs...

We've taken so much from their lives, as is, at least this would give them hope and an opportunity to regain some of their former selves.

2. K&R. Thank you. n/t

[MichellesBFF]

3. Thank You

4. K&R

Wow what an exciting alternative to the wheelchair. I hope they become available to the countless people in line who need them.

5. Why can't we spend more money on technology like this...

... and less on technology like Aircraft Carriers?

How many research projects like these legs might have been funded had we not been building obscenities like the USS George H.W. Bush?

YES:




NO:

6. Ironically eLegs is an offshoot of HURC

8. Took the words out of my mouth...

9. So???

It's pretty fucking sad we have to dig through all the horse shit for a few little seeds.

12. What is sad is the indifference of DU, almost 300 views, 8 recs and as many replies

maybe we should just stat talking about bullshit 24/7 here, the community doesn't give two shits about anything else. Oh wait, defending the Administration's lies, that gets their fucking hackles up.

13. I'll kick it back up again.

Humans are capable of a lot. But we throw so much away.

Imagine what we might accomplish if everyone had an excellent education, nobody was hungry or homeless or living in fear for their lives, and we didn't waste our resources fighting senseless wars...

[DainBramaged]

14. War is good, soldiers, just cannon fodder, chew 'em up, spit 'em out

I'd like to see Darrel Issa explain why we can't fund this project....

[Statistical]

7. Very cool stuff and the good news is we are at the Comodore64 stage.

Think of the computer revolution and how much more capable computers are 30 years later. The same thing will happen with bionics.

[DavidDvorkin]

10. Those are very moving videos.

[watercolors]

11. Very inspiring video.

We have a whole generation of vets from Iraq who have choices to make because of lost limbs.
