Although I'm bracing for the expected inundation of Borg / "You Will Be Assimilated" references and pictures, I'm hoping that this may still be interesting for some. It seems to be quite a leap forward and seems poised to be able to help millions of people.

A friend of mine just had hip replacement surgery....they used titanium and said her bone would grow and meld into the titanium making it even stronger.....which I found VERY interesting.

Hmmm, no Borg references? Darn!

How about, Steve Austin Ping! We can rebuild him. We have the technology.

Sweet .... with any luck by the time I'm old enough to consider whole body replacement they will be able to do it.

My dad is supposed to have a hip replacement in the near future... I wonder if he will have the same thing.

Too bad brain transplants are still quite a ways off...it would be nice to be able to offer such a service to Leftists and others who have neurological / cognitive issues.

This reminds me of that movie "Gold Member"

Victims of smelting accidents finally have cause for hope.

If you give people's bottoms hard points to bear directly on a chair, they wouldn't need cushions.

Perfect for those hard stadium benches. . . and very interesting for people with severe bedsore issues.

I'm all for the Borg references as long as they include pictures of Jerry Ryan.
