Can artificial organs be better than real ones?
The JSAO Special Lecture will be delivered by Mr. Ken Endo, who works in the R&D of prosthetic legs whose users are expected to set records in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games that surpass those of regular athletes. In his presentations, including his TED talk (www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxWLkDk1vPE), Endo not only speaks about new technology, but also discusses how technological advances can eliminate the psychological barrier between “disability” and “normality,” and the potential for a society in which diverse values are accepted. Please do come and hear this lecture!
