Couldn‘t one simple cut the decayed ends and graft new electrodes to fresher nerves behind?
Yes, yes, slowly cutting away at the non reneweable nerves, widening the gap to keep the connection working, becoming more cyborg as the time passes.
Sounds crazy, but for the reward it brings, is there a price too high?
- lloydatkinson 3y agoFiguring out the required stem cell treatment to properly regenerate damaged nerves or creating some kind of non-degrading synthetic nerve that can be placed in the spine (or wherever) seems like a much better long term goal.
- im3w1l 3y agoThat sounds like a great idea for the long term, but what about the people that need a solution today? We have to make do with what we got until science advances.
- Traubenfuchs 3y agoI don‘t think there is any realistic path to those things though.
