Call me a raging beast if you want. I'm biting you anyways.

Paralyzed Rats Regain Mobility in Lab
After severe spinal cord damage, paralyzed rats are able to walk again with the help of a robot to hold them up and stimulate their nerves, a new study shows.
After the rats are trained on the machine for about two months, they gained the ability to control their hind legs — which had previously been cut off from communicating with the brain — with enough dexterity to climb stairs and navigate around objects. This control means that the brain has forged new connections to get around the spinal cord injury.
But you people seem to forget something VERY important.
Rats are willing to recover.
Most ill people don’t want to recover. They prefer to gain the pity and love of everyone and have the oohs and aaaahs and not having to be strong because people pity them and take care of them.
Remember. If you want to do it, you will do it. But if you don’t want to, no matter how good is the machine or how long you’re attached to it. Nothing will change in your brain if you’re holding it wrong.

These are normal sculpting tools.
I have all those spatulas. Even more. They’re useful.
