IMHO, it -should- be just as controversial as cochlear implants- a few years, advance in technology, and some trials, and this could become just as commonplace. Which sucks.
'Yay, science can make blind people see!' doesn't sound as cool when you think of the sacrifices made for the sake of sight.

Actually, I don't think it crap because teachology have come long way. It not the first time I have heard about that. They did use that teachology on a blind dog and it works. There was a movie also about a blind man true story about him I forgot the titile but will look it up for you. He was blind in both his eyes. He met a woman fell in love with her and she courage him to get sugery to be able to see again. But the doctor did warn him of the risks he can go blind again. But he took the risk and only see lik a few months. It took his brain to learn to understands colors, shape, and things look like. I was impress by the movie. :-)
