At long last, we now have the tech to give you back your sight. introducing the bonic eye!

Quote:

They have the technology, and now scientists in the U.K. have given sight to the blind using bionic eyes. Electronic microchips implanted into the eyes of a group of British patients suffering from retinitis pigmentosa, an incurable genetic condition that causes blindness, have partially restored the vision of the formerly sightless so that they're able to view the world as a "grainy black-and-white image." The implant's first British recipient said the bionic eye gives him "some imagery rather than just a black world." Another patient reported suddenly dreaming in "very vivid color for the first time in 25 years" because a part of his brain had been reactivated. Wow, Toto. I don't think we're in Kansas anymore.

I'd imagine the Bonic eye is when your eye is replaced with a penis?

While I only have damaged vision and can still see shit, as soon as this is affordable I am getting it. I an sure I could retain my beautiful eye color.

There's also another break through with the Bonic Heart. Pretty soon life will be as advance as Ghost in the Shell.

OR DE:Human revolution (which would be more accurate in representation)

But yeah. Fantastic! We now have the ability to grant sight via technology. one of the greatest disadvantages in our world is being eliminated. GO SCIENCE!

All I've seen of Ghost In The Shell was the Innocence move, so forgive me if that idea scares me.

I think the best part is how one of the linked articles said that the implant and surgery actually cost less to do than train a seeing eye dog.

These fleshy meat parts are too fragile.

Even after I learned, grew up, and came to be on the right side of a lot of important issues, I was still angry, abrasive, and generally increased the amount of hate in the world, in pretty unacceptable ways. On the off chance that someone is taking a trip down memory lane looking through those old threads, I wanted to devote my signature to say directly to you, I'm sorry. Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.
