    Lots of great scientific discoveries happening.
    Trials for diabetic medication, so patients won't have to inject themselves anymore.
    Truvada, which protects against AIDS, and seems to have a 95% success ratio.

    News like this makes me happy...

      If only Chris had lived. Looked like he was starting to get movement back near the end of his life.

        We are finally getting some insight in how the nervous system works, and how repairs can be made.
        Even how to make a shortcut between the brain and the muscles of arms and legs, completely skipping the damaged part of the spine (where the problem is).
        It's fascinating stuff.

            Right? There's just no other feeling. You just want to pump your fist in the air and say "YES!" when you read something like this. What a miraculous breakthrough.

              I'm so pleased to hear of this, wonderful news. I've seen these types of injuries at work first-hand, and it's heartbreaking.

              I remember reading Reeve's memoirs, feeling sad and inspired at the same time.
