Brain Implants for the Paralyzed?

Interesting. Via Drudge... This in the Guardian.


Evidently, a device implanted directly into the brain may allow paralyzed people to move artificial limbs, cursors on a computer, etc, using the power of thought.


Just wondering here. If technology develops sufficiently to allow implants for the severly disabled who also lack an ability to communicate in any physical way, I wonder if Mr. Felos might suddenly begin "hearing" trapped souls begging to remain ALIVE?

Or maybe he would find himself suddenly being drawn (via his amazing, infallible psychic powers, of course) to assist the implant-free souls who actually "want" to die....

I dunno. Just more blathering.
