You realize, that, in fact, the good doctor's operation, leaves Hawking with
even less movement and sensation then he currently has with his ALS
afflcition? Not to mention even less quality of life. If we are talking
genuine neuro-genin treatments, or neural prothesis, that is a completely
different story! But that is not what the "head" doctor is proposing.
