I hope they are onto something. I have a very good friend who is a quadraplegic as a result of skiing accident. He is one of those people who can always get you out of a crappy mood and just loves life. An outdoorsman to the bone, he worked for REI and lead trips for them as well as working in a store. Ridiculous athlete who could get a handle on any sport. He still is pushing hard despite where he is at. He is working with a company that gets people with his disabilities out sailing and skiing.
I have prayed everyday that someone would figure out a repair for people in his position.
