Incredible stuff. I know stem cells is one of those"taboo" subjects. Opinions?

As awesome as it is, the implications alone are enough to get me excited.

All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I **** like you wanna ****, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.
Actually, people who've had sight restored, specifically those who were born blind have a very, very high suicide rate.

There's a ****ing ridiculous amount of irony in that.

It has to do with brain plasticity. When a person is born blind or blinded, the brain rewires itself to get a picture of it's surroundings more through hearing and touch. When sight is restored, the brain is overwhelmed and confused, often resulting in severe depression.

That's either incredibly sad or incredibly bullshit. Prolly the former.

Probably because the world is a ****ed up place, and visual confirmation of that is too much for them.

do you know if there is a difference if the treatment is done earlier in life vs later?
that must be the most bizarre rehab period though, after that surgery, your brain wouldn't be able to visually process the edge of objects, let alone identify item categories like "chair"...
