A 36-year-old man with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has been able to communicate after months of being unable even to move his eyes. Using the brain implant, the man was able to compose sentences at a rate of one character per minute.

It took three months of trial and error before the implant could even measure a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response when presented with a letter. After some success, it took three weeks for the patient to produce entire sentences. A…

Mike Goodwin, a 75-year-old Vietnam veteran, was fishing on the Appomattox River when disaster struck. Reaching back for his anchor rope, Goodwin fell off his boat and right into the chilling Appomattox River. He clung to his boat for as long as he could. With his grip tireing and the cold river lowering his body temperature, Goodwin said that he was close to letting go of the boat a few times. Still,…

On February 24th, the Missouri General Assembly approved a bill that removed the Medicaid funding of Planned Parenthood in the state. According to the American Life League, Planned Parenthood receives an average of $461.8 million dollars of taxpayer funds per year. The bill was hotly contested with the Democrats briefly using a filibuster for a few hours. It finally passed on a vote of 25-7 with surprisingly all…
