<a class="user" href="http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=crippled">http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=crippled</a>Your distaste for the word and condition is understandable, but doesn't justify attacks toward correct uses of the term.

This is what Sony will make when Nanotechnology improves in the future.<a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCt3-NSOP9A">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCt3-NSOP9A</a>And maybe Sony can secretly install a root kit in someones brain.Now back to serious point; this technology is a starting point for curing the incurable diseases and ailments

I was hoping to be the first to throw up some Borg reference. :( In any case, I hope this can be applied to diseases like M.S. My mother has had the disease for some time, but if the nanobots can repair damaged spinal tissue, this would definetly apply! Thank you science! :)
