After the injury, the doctor removed the damaged portion of brain. Resultantly, her left side paralyzed. I want to know that is there any possibility of repairing the damaged area of brain.

So now the networks and the big content lobby want to move beyond scamming both consumers and creators with overpriced and underpaid content (and suing them as criminals when they resist), and start denying us potentially life-saving and life-enhancing medical options. This justifies a large Occupy the Air Waves campaign. To start, we should really boycott all traditional broadcasting and move to digital alternatives. NOW. Re the FCC.

This research should hurry to become commercial - and bug free - and then dirt cheap. 20 years max, I need my immortality and neural upgrades and boosters. The potential by then - 20 years - may be further enhanced by injecting not fresh creamy basal stemcells to trickle into my brain and become fresh mindmeat - no, I'll be keen on somewhat tweaked and genetically polished up stem cells. Debugged so to speak. The idea of perpetuating my precarious mind-flame onwards, beyond the muddy waters of my natural genome, claustrophobic culture, and stifling economical heritage is hope itself. What comes of what is now me is always better than to relinquish to people that care nothing for this I am and desire. And I know many who read this will feel this resonate. The biggest lonesome is the uncaring eyes of those in their own universe. The biggest togetherness is the hope we can move beyond that and grow to care, as one, everlasting and forever happy and always with hope and faith.
