This has just been on the local radio, very interesting. A relatively simple operation and potentially a huge life and money saver.

Could be the life- saver a lot are looking for. My only concern is about its reversibility if it does not work or goes wrong.

Yes, I guess that's why they're being careful about who has it for the trial. Looks like there have been no problems so far but I don't think that article says how many have been done so far world-wide.

I can just imagine what would happen if I was a test case. The blinking ray gun would blow a hole the size of a football right through me! :lol:
