Actually, Buoniconti knew exactly what he was saying. Spinal cord research has obviously made huge strides. With new areas like stem cell research especially, science is now confident and very close to complete repair of the spinal cord. In fact, I have recently read articles that stem cells have actually repaired spinal cords in lab animals that had lost all functions of the extremities(hands, feet etc.) So its not far fetched to hope that in the next 10 years, spinal cord injuries will be as treatable as say, a broken arm.
