The combination of scientific progress and individual courage is emotionally overwhelming.

[@runnergo1398]

I swear I was cutting onions while watching this video.

[@victoriac847]

I’m sobbing how precious. I’m sad that some disabled people feel as though they are not worthy or “whole” without their limbs or abilities, it’s sad society has given them that idea, but it’s beautiful to see the empowerment and independence these brave people are receiving through this research. Both the scientists and patients hard work will help so many disabled people in the future! Great story.

[@chesthoIe]

Buck v. Bell was never overturned. We castrate people in this country because they are disabled.

[@sheershchaturvedi4534]

Man 60 minutes has putting in work. I loved their harsh truth piece on the Iraq war 20 years later and now something I’ve been following for a while as a BME. This is what journalism is.

[@ncbiz]

This is why i love 60 Min for these great stories hope this tech goes further into the future.

[@FriedRice3519]

same here

[@thorkagemob1297]

I say this honestly, Cyberpunk 2077 isnt far off lol just in terms of technology i think actually perhaps even around that year its very possible tech could get to a level approaching high tech prosthetics like that.

[@BurnShot226]

​@@thorkagemob1297I remember watching a KZbin video 12 years ago talking about how realistic the tech of Deus Ex: Human Revolution was for 2027. With these advances, those prosthetics are finally becoming a reality.... right on schedule.

[@oliverrojas3185]

Thanks Department of Defense and 60 Minutes and for the bravery of these persons engaging in these medical projects.

[@comizr8r]

So awesome. This is amazing progress in the biomedical field.

[@evelina733]

So happy for the people who can access this! I hope everyone who needs this could get that!

[@larasemerad2605]

I have spine injury some problems 5,6,7, spine. Challenge I have Epilepsy too. A lot of doctors were not helping. I have to be Group home and I can do things . I miss having a strong spine and nerves brain and feet. Thank you for sharing this video,

[@danieldavid9194]

THIS IS AMAZING! What a great time in our lives to be living! Thank you for this great video! Keep them coming!

[@monotech20.14]

This tech could have came sooner if profit motive wasn't an issue.

[@krishonk7754]

[@randal_gibbons]

This one really got to me. Kudos to everyone involved with developing and testing this amazing technology.

[@TwiztidPain]

this is amazing work but at the end of the day the ppl that need it wont be able to afford it

[@ftefilm]

This topic was amazing to watch.

[@Pauly421]

Mind blown. Technology advancements are getting crazy!!!

[@justincredible.]

The MIRACLE of SCIENCE!!!!!!

[@charliegoodnight7560]

What’s most incredible is the $75,000-$100,000 per knee these prosthetic companies charge and MOST amputees are not deserving enough to receive insurance that covers more than 80% The real advancement in this world would be a non corrupt insurance system. Js

[@oscopin74]

This is amazing. It's amazing what the best of us can do. Love science and technology. One has to be in awe of progress. As difficult as it can be to see sometimes.

[@OTAlucard]

Ghost in the shell and Deus EX were right all along. We're definitely on track for a future like that.

[@333-.-.-.]

That is amazing!!!!! Man just wants to work and now he's on the cutting edge. Inspiring.

[@RHTeebs]

What's even more incredible, is that the technology can only improve from here. It's just going to get better and better with time.

[@charliegoodnight7560]

It doesn’t matter what tech brings us. When 99.9% of amputees can’t afford even a basic set of limbs, chances are almost none will get to use this great tech. Been in the business for 42 years..js

[@GoDbax]

@@charliegoodnight7560 that’s literally how all cutting edge technology starts out it’s always initially prohibitively expensive but then it becomes cheaper. Also your statement about 99.9 percent of all amputees not being able to afford basic prosthetics is false.

END OF THE DOLLAR? Or what awaits those at the bottom of the banking pyramids. This is an analytical article from Asian and Arab analytical services. At the state level, analysts from different countries recommend getting rid of assets in dollars, but what? And why? April 2023 will decide the fate of the dollar and banks in the US, you have a maximum week left. The dollar-based banking system is starting to crumble, with major US banks failing this month, and a number of banks in Europe, as well as dozens of smaller banks in the US, were clearly in trouble. Since the US dollar is not backed by anything (not backed by a gold guarantor), it is not protected by anything other than verbal guarantees from the US government and the Federal Reserve System. 1) And what does it lead to? - most US banks are a pyramid that rests on the money of depositors, in the event of a bank failure, only those who insure deposits will receive money (and it’s not a fact if the government pays this money, but this is also a problem) and those who withdraw first until the cash runs out or they will give the go-ahead to transfer to another bank (but there is a percentage for the transfer) Read what a financial pyramid is and the collapse of a financial pyramid. 2) Guaranteeing the issuance of deposits and keeping the state of banks from bankruptcy - turning on the printing press (injecting cash) If the state asks the federal reserve system to turn on the press to print more billions to guarantee the return of deposits and maintain the stability of the bank, then the public debt of US residents will increase or be inflation of the dollar, which means a decrease in the purchasing power for this money, for example, those goods that cost $ 100 will cost 200 or even 1000. 3) Why world banks are collapsing along with US banks - because they are tied to the dollar, this is the euro, this is the British pound, the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar. They are all tied to the value of dollars, and that is, if the US financial system collapses, then these countries are pulled along. What to do? - 1) withdraw money first until deposits are frozen, because in this financial pyramid the amount of money is limited and not enough for everyone, because deposits are used and gradually spent by banks, and when the constant influx of new money ends, there will be a shortage of funds in the bank. The top of the bank (the pyramids will never wait and take risks, they will be the first to take their money from the bank as soon as they realize that the bank is collapsing), those who have insured their money with the state can give the money or can not compensate for the full amount of the connection with various excuses. What is the result? - those who managed to stay with the money, those who did not have time to withdraw money will lose their deposits (as Biden said - deposits are always risks, sometimes you earn on them, sometimes you lose) and the bank will become bankrupt. -2) wait for it to print money and pour billions into the bank. Yes, it is possible, but not certain. What is the result? - an increase in the public debt of citizens and inflation of the dollar is possible (after all, printing billions of unsecured pieces of paper will lead to a cheaper dollar, you can see for yourself that the purchasing power of a certain amount decreases every time a new batch of dollars is printed). - but there is a high probability that you will not wait and then you will lose deposits. -3) to do nothing and not to worry - happiness is not in money (well, you will lose your deposits, but inflation will be a little later) Well, what can I say - not long left, some analysts say - that in the first days of April a serious recession will begin in the US financial system. Some believe that from mid-April. But everyone agrees that it is necessary to get rid of the dollar, since soon its value will be cheaper than the paper on which it is printed. It is better to buy precious metals or appliances, electronics and real estate. Popcorn bought and looking forward to))!!

@Runner Go ah science both great and wrong at times as for WW3 common sense/intelligence must be key and can’t be forgotten for some who are acting foolish or morally corrupt

[@NaticzkaKaminskaHenryDolphin]

The progress that science is making is amazing. Of course, as with everything, the progress of science has its good and bad sides - I mean the negative effects of, for example, artificial intelligence, but the good effects, in my opinion, outweigh the bad ones. It is wonderful to see paralyzed people smiling and hopeful again. This hope is only possible thanks to the development of science and knowledge, used with the best of intentions, in order to help those most in need. Of course, any new, advanced technology is expensive to start with, but the price always goes down over time. Anyway, doctors and scientists who are constantly working to improve the lives of ordinary people and the world, in general, should be stars in the headlines and rewarded much better than some vain, fake, foolish celebrities.

[@Cetrifuga1945]

Complimenti al tim che a fatto questa invenzione siete angel della vita avete cambiato il senso a questo uomo spererei a tanta Gente se lo merita a condurre una vita dignitosa auguri a tutti

[@noahcoleman]

Wonderful story. Truly touching. I hope the department of defense is able to commercialize their product, and bring the price down so the masses can afford it. I also hope we all work to reduce accidents causing disability by reducing major car crashes and war.

[@Jackson-pu7gd]

This is just so awesome. The future potential for these treatments is just incredible, especially if you consider how AI/neural network/machine learning could be utilized to vastly improve the ability to fine tune the highly complex and intricate connections between the mechanical and biological interfaces (which to me appears to be the biggest limiting factor here).

[@empmachine]

Leaves me speechless; what amazing tech!

[@larrysnyder2273]

Incredible!

[@mpart_woodlathe-stuff]

Oh man, such progress, so wonderful ! Stuff I've been interested in since a freshman psych course where I learned the brain took and gave electrical signals - gross and cellular ones ! And from a love of science fiction. It's been 50 years but who said it'd be easy ?!!

[@michaelvaladez6570]

There's hope waiting..never give up...

[@barrywhite6060]

This reminds me so much of the scene in the 2014 Robo Cop reboot when the guy is trying to play the guitar. I was thinking they would reference it because it showed exactly what the scientists are aiming for.

[@Keln02]

I wish for Humanity to focus on the positives of science. This is incredibly important for everyone.

[@josephotremba7466]

That is so amazing! I'm glad he's still here.

Sorry ... can't watch yet... facing an amputation in the next couple of weeks. I appreciate the work all'yalls do though.

[@colinsmith8584]

Tears don't come to my eyes over much of anything, but they did during this story. I mostly curse Technology for making life worse than when I was a kid. Then I see these kind of amazing emerging technologies and It makes me a bit more positive about the future of humanity.

[@Divorcedndating.with_La]

Wow, that’s amazing!

If it were not for the sense of touch, our world would have been no more than a dream. In a dream, you don't touch. By my sense of touch/feeling, I know I am not dreaming.

This technology is almost as incredible as seeing Bolo's nose for the first time.

[@brettfrancoeur127]

Absolutely astounding

[@tringuyen7519]

Worked with a Case Western graduate once. He was and is a pure genius!

[@GrantStretch]

Wow. As a person who has an artificial arm (WW11 technology) the ability to integrate technology and people is such a massive step forward it is amazing. My one question is this works for amputees who have the needed nerves/muscles or would this also work for people born missing a limb.

[@tomy.1846]

These are all amazing people!!!!!! Awesome story!

[@tmeyer2022]

That's incredibly wonderful. Thanks Scott! 💖

[@djneedles000]

[@leebatt7964]

This is a touching story.

[@user-francescob]

This is great TV! We need more serious shows for more options in our consumption of media. These are examples of science that is life changing, and show patients a promise of an optimistic future. These prosthetics are making life worth living for these patients and many more. Hopefully the military's investment will be taken over by the private industry, and commercialize these as standard products. Driving the prices down to what insurance and medicare can cover them, is what we need ASAP. Hat's off to 60 Minutes for covering this topic!

[@chowchow2theleft567]

[@aviersierra1581]

[@JonasMarshall]

What most people don't understand is what we make, anything we make or create were made with the same properties. So anything is possible.

[@ctbt1832]

Wow. Good

[@TesserId]

That last point isn't a trifle. The work of George Lakoff speaks of how metaphor dominates our experience. The term _touching_ may well be universal across all human cultures, even surpassing the metaphor that up is more and down is less; or at least, I can't think of why a culture would not "embrace" (sorry, over played it) the metaphor of "touching".

[@GTAMW3.]

"Someone turned it on"... where were the safety devices; red signs that says "do not turn ON" and device that physically prevents the switch from or systems from being turned on? Industrial accidents usually result from many failures of people to follow directions.

Cybernetic prosthetics is happening, the question is, should this technology be regulated, I think it should be for anyone that needs it like war vets and people who lost limbs in accidents or people who were born without hands or feets, remember the game Deus Ex human revolution, the that game people were getting Cybernetic prosthetics to get an edge in life, it should be for people that need it
