I get the knee jerk reaction, but this type of technology is game changing for people with traumatic injuries, neurologic disorders, birth defects and so on. As former ED Tech and now as an orthopedic nurse, I can say that this is very much needed. Just took care of a new paraplegic last week from a motorcycle crash. He may walk someday with such technology.
Also, we already have neural implants and stimulators and other medical devices in brains and for the rest of the body from cochlear implants, neural stimulators for Parkinson's, pacemakers, pain pumps, diabetic pumps, LVAD, etc., so medically speaking, this is just the next step.
