The Wonder of Ethical Biotechnology

I keep saying it and saying it: Most biotechnology is ethical and exciting. And here is a great example: A former U.S. Marine whose arm was amputated, had implants placed in her brain that help her manipulate a prosthetic arm. But there's more: "Now doctors have re-routed the ends of arm nerves to a patch of skin on her chest--allowing her to regain the sensation of having her lost hand touched." Next step will "be for touch sensors on the artificial hand" to transmit "signals back to the re-routed nerves, allowing patients to have accurate sensations of touch, temperature and joint position." Fabulous. And no treating of any human organism as a mere resource ripe for the harvest nor efforts to create a utopian post-humanity. Bravo.
