Damn... that sucks man... I seen an interview with him on a different show, but yeah. It's great he didn't let it handicap him though.

That really sucks. The documentary I saw about him was one of the most amazing and inspiring stories ever.

Yah I agree. The entire series was very intriuging and makes you really take note of what the human brain can actually be capable of. It's so sad too that he has died, not only for the loss of an amazing person, but the time lost that could've been spent on more studying.
