On the other side, life expectancy for Hamas terrorists has gone down.

So we have burn victims in the USA. We have gunshot wounds here. All kinds of medical issues which technology could be developed for curing.

When do you think we see this stuff in the USA?

One of the few positives of war has always been the medical advances achieved.

Our FDA has a well greased system that lags behind by years if not decades when it comes to approving well proven medical procedures not developed in house with the required pay offs, kickbacks and patent sharing while citizens suffer and even die.

Well, the FDA did approve it for use in kids, so probably not much longer.

I’m fascinated by a lot of those options. 3D printing is already widely used, so to see it applied to the medical is no surprise. Talk about cheap custom prosthetics - they can even be made texturally decorative to suit a patient’s personality.
