There was one feature in the movie Alien II:

We can understand that armies are already using them.
I hope that this technology will be used primarily by our free health care systems to help people regain their original mobility. That is very good news.

By the way, I support Obama in his plan to establish universal free health care.
Health care for all is the true way for a better world including a better America.
