Paralysed woman moves robot with her mind - by Nature Video

Cathy Hutchinson has been unable to move her own arms or legs for 15 years. But using the most advanced brain-machine interface ever developed, she can steer a robotic arm towards a bottle, pick it up, and drink her morning coffee. The interface includes a sensor implanted in Cathy's brain, which 'reads' her thoughts, and a decoder, which turns her thoughts into instructions for the robotic arm. In this video, watch Cathy control the arm and hear from the team behind the pioneering study.

I cried so hard when she smiled after she was done drinking. It was so beautiful. I wanted to give her a hug so bad.

In a world where science has been monopolized and used by corporations and gov'ts to subvert the truth, people who believe in science are not believing in actual science, but a limited version or fraudulent version of it that insures someone's profit.

The problem with the debate of science vs religion is that both rely on faith. Science cannot prove that our creation didn't come from a God, so ultimately there's still an equally difficult choice between faith in Science or faith in a God. We all agree that Love exists, yet science cannot prove or measure it.
