U-M scientists develop first micro-machined mechanical cochlea

ANN ARBOR, Mich.-Scientists at U-M have developed the first micro-machined, life-sized, mechanical cochlea, the tiny organ responsible for converting acoustic vibrations into electrical signals for the brain to "read" and interpret as different sounds.

Most people with hearing loss have lost the ability to translate acoustic sound waves into electrical signals for the brain, so developing a device capable of simulating this function is an important step in the effort to help at least some of the estimated 560 million people who will experience hearing loss by this year. While the U-M system is not yet ready for use as an implant, the 3-centimeter device could potentially be used as part of a cochlear implant. More immediate applications include a low-power sensor for military or commercial applications, said College of Engineering associate professor Karl Grosh.

The British military has the same question:

Should the disabled be able to join the military?

Britain's most senior military officer has attacked proposals for disabled people to be allowed to join the armed forces.
The Chief of the Defence Staff, General Sir Charles Guthrie said that disabled people had no right to serve in the armed forces, adding that the idea showed a lack of awareness of military issues.

The general said that he welcomed women, homosexuals and ethnic minorities in the army, but "drew the line" at disabled people.

If the general does not believe in disabled individuals to join the armed forces, then i will probably join other group...

It's not ready for use as an implant, but could be used "more immediately" for military or commercial applications. Thus, it wouldn't be implanted in a soldier; it would be integrated into a sensor suite of some sort (the military has all sorts of uses for these things - SONAR is one).

I think Congress should reinstate the draft.All 18 year olds should register for the draft and its time to make all 18 year olds report to duty in the military basic training!!!

I think that congress will initiate the draft if and when it's needed. It's not for us to say it's time to put our youth in harms way. It's also not something to be taken lightly.
 
I think so too.Its just a matter of time when and if theyre gonna do it.I suggest them make the penalties stiff and swift that will require a federal prison term if caught dodging the war and headding to canada.
