  10. Seeing this all I could think of was Christopher Reeve and how happy he'd be to see such a day come to pass–imagine then seeing his son (whom I was not aware of) -that familiar smile in the rock superman chin brought me tears!!

  11. Could this work for people with ALS?

  12. This breakthrough deserves a Nobel Peace Prize! Putting AI technology to good use for mankind.

  13. This is a truly wonderous sight to behold, and the technology making it possible will only improve. Bravo to the scientists who worked toward this remarkable achievement and to Mr. Oskam himself for going through the process.

  14. Amazing how much Christopher's son, William, looks like his father! Thank you so much to the Reeve family for their sacrifice and continued involvement in the fight for the wellbeing of disabled people everywhere!

  15. Does anyone know if there’s going to be any clinical trials in the United States? I would love to participate in a clinical trial.

  23. I wish his dad were also still around. He’s greatly missed.

  24. But religious nutters, boomers and doomers say when AI perform miracles like this, then you know it’s of satan and AI is the beast of revelations because the AI is trying to be an impostor copying Jesus’s miracles and that’s why AI needs to be stopped because it’s eeeevil 😮😮😮

  25. Just Incredible 👍 reminds me of the old tv series ' six million dolar man ' .

  26. Finally some good news for once. I'm stunned that it's come so far along. It would be a seamless surgery, too. I'm sure in the future you wouldn't even be able to tell they were ever paralyzed at all.

  27. Wow, Will Reeve looks just like his dad

  28. Christopher reeves son is sO handsome…his parents would be proud of him …all grown up 👦

  32. Thats great honestly but I can't help but think of the potential not only for good but also imagine if u were able to control someone this way

  33. Finally some good news

  34. But everyone will miss the part where it’s already reading our minds. Great medical breakthrough but also the start of the potential dystopian hellscape
