LINK Paralysed man with severed spine walks thanks to implant
A paralysed man with a severed spinal cord has been able to walk again, thanks to an implant developed by a team of Swiss researchers.
It is the first time someone who has had a complete cut to their spinal cord has been able to walk freely.
The same technology has improved the health of another paralysed patient to the extent that he has been able to become a father.
The research has been published in the journal Nature Medicine.
Michel Roccati was paralysed after a motorbike accident five years ago. His spinal cord was completely severed—and he has no feeling at all in his legs.
But he can now walk—because of an electrical implant that has been surgically attached to his spine.

How long before the technology is coopted by the globalists to turn it into a means of surveillance and control? Will the patent holders be able to withstand the pressure and the temptation of monetary reward for turning it over to Big Tech?

I'm almost certain he still can't feel his legs, so there's room for improvement for this development. Good on them for taking this first step.
