Today, as Mrs. Schiavo died, Boundless posted “If I End Up Like Terri: An Open Letter to My Wife.” As Sister Chabel (spelling) at Gift of Peace house in D.C. said, She is in heaven now, we need to pray for her husband, her family, and all those involved in this mess. We also need to pray for each other, that we will survive the turmoil to come, and that we will be taken better care of if some tragedy reduces us to such a state.

I find it rather ironic that I posted about cyborgs only yesterday considering this BBC article. Scientists have now developed a way to implant a computer chip such that the brain can control it, it can read some “brain waves,” and let you control electrical devices. Examples include TV power, channel, and volume. They hope to extend this to allow paralyzed to move again. “Meet the mind readers” goes into further details on this idea, apparently there have been some successes along these lines.
