BioEdge: the latest news and articles about bioethics
Hi there,
Perhaps the most thrilling moment of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil has already passed. Although most television stations missed it, a paraplegic man delivered the opening kick using an exoskeleton. It was an amazing feat of technology which promises terrific benefits for disabled people. I wish all the teams well, but the jubilant look on the face of 29-year-old Juliano Pinto may have signalled the most important kick of the entire tournament.
Cheers,

his week in BioEdge
