Mark Pollock has been blind in his right eye since age 5, and blind in his left at age 22. Dispite that, Mark played sports, participating in and winning a number of races and competitions. Yet in 2010, while staying at a friends apartment in Londen for a rowing event, he fell out of a second story window to the concrete. He became paralyzed. Now, doctors from America, Russia, and Ireland are testing him with a new piece of tech. A pair of robotic legs that will stimulate his remaining nerve cells, allowing him to walk of his own accord. This is a huge leap in technology and medicine.
Analysis-
This is so good that tech has allowed paralyzed people to walk again. This is a great huge stride in science and medicine and hopefully that this tech will be available to the masses.
