Thought this definitely deserved a mention - the U.S. Army is looking at using virtual worlds to provide social therapy and smooth the adjustment process for amputee soldiers.

If it helps them build a community and adjust to their new environment, I say it's worth it.

Whatever helps these brave young men, and likely women as well, is fine with me!
