Robo Chick and Bionic Boy
Just watched a rough cut of my heroic younger son’s TV debut where his “bionic” hand, replacing the one he lost in a road accident two years ago, is featured alongside an American woman’s “bionic” eye. As usual, I had no success in holding back the tears. Nothing can diminish my admiration for his courage and fortitude in the face of what would have devastated a lesser man. So watch out for the broadcast on Channel 5 on 2nd July 2008 when all will be revealed and no doubt Evan will provoke an emotional outpouring and a flood of fan mail from pretty young girls throughout the country.

I can’t wait to see this program. As always I have been fascinated by the merging of technology with medical science. For 11 years I have been developing technologies in the area in hopes to help people do things that they have never done or will not be able to do because of a “handicap”. When I watch the show I will give your son a standing ovation for his bravery and courage. And hopefully in no time at all, we will all believe that there is a way with the help of a little modern engineering to overcome the unthinkable. Praise God for technology and the sciences that make these things possible.
