Especially if they hurry it up and make it cheaper for public consumers.

I can also see how it could be misused, but for progress to be made, we have to accept that risk.

Any how, it would be great to augment muscles with such devices, which would help out those with motor function impairment and a way to rehabilitate atrophy.
