I don't watch TV so had no idea Christopher Reeve's son was doing this. I'm so happy to see him doing so well. He's handsome just like his dad.

I am a spinal and orthopedic nurse, this just makes me want to cry my eyes out, I am so happy for these people.

Wow! I had a friend years ago who was a quadriplegic. He was hurt when he was in the Navy. He passed away when he was in his mid-50s from complications from not being able to move. Oh I know his sister wishes that this had been created back then when he was still alive. He was such a dear man. This is good news for all of those have been paralyzed. What a miracle. What an amazing, amazing miracle!!

Will Reeves bringing this fantastic news to the masses. Great way to start the day!
-
I wish his dad were also still around. He’s greatly missed.
-
Amazing how much Christopher's son, William, looks like his father! Thank you so much to the Reeve family for their sacrifice and continued involvement in the fight for the wellbeing of disabled people everywhere!

My husband was paralyzed by a medical mistake. We fought for his life for 9 years before he had kidney failure, due to the inability to fully empty his bladder & constant infections. People don't realize how many serious issues are caused by paralysis. Soon these things will be very small & easy to use for everyone. No more being paralyzed for people.

I'm bawling with happiness about this breakthrough. This will lessen human suffering so much, cause people to overcome things we never could have dreamed of in the past....and the fact that Christopher Reeve's son is one of the people reporting it?! This is an important sprout of hope for humanity, consciousness, and the bridge from the general population fearing AI to embracing, loving, and understanding the concept.

Seeing this all I could think of was Christopher Reeve and how happy he'd be to see such a day come to pass--imagine then seeing his son (whom I was not aware of) -that familiar smile in the rock superman chin brought me tears!!
-
Hope they get more funding. I remember old news story about the same thing over 10 years ago. Guy had similar stuff inserted into his legs. After funding ended, he was left with the stuff in his legs that after awhile needed to be removed 😢

This is a truly wonderous sight to behold, and the technology making it possible will only improve. Bravo to the scientists who worked toward this remarkable achievement and to Mr. Oskam himself for going through the process.

Loved your dad Christopher. Blessings to you. ❤

I hope this break through is available to the common man today!! We need all of these people back up on their feet and helping the world to make it a brighter place! The Disabiled community has so much to teach everyone! Please remember everyone, we are ALL just one accident away from being Disabled ourselves! The Disabled are apart of us and we are apart of them!!!!! 🤗

Does anyone know if there’s going to be any clinical trials in the United States? I would love to participate in a clinical trial.

I remember when he was a lil kid on Sesame Street when his dad made an appearance talking about life as a paraplegic. Where has the time gone. Keep up the good work Will. Ur parents are smiling down on you
-

This is what AI is supposed to be used for not replacing actors and writers
-
