You know, if Bret's alive in 50 years, and still in decent shape, the medical technology might exist.
The "realm of possibility" is such that only some people who break their necks can come back. Angle, as an example, was
not parylised.
You're comparing one form of severe injury with another form of severe injury...One which can have a more "minor" form, the other which cannot. A minor stroke is still severely debilitating. A broken neck doesn't necessarily cause nerve damage.
On the other hand, ask Chris Reeves how he's recovering? His recovery is actually AMAZING, as he has regained more than most paralised people ever will. With his money, he's still gonna be largely immobile for LIFE.
Not to sound cold to his condition, but how's that for medical technology?
Science has made leaps and bounds, but not to that level yet. I'm totally confident that progress will be made, but I doubt Bret's lifetime will ever totally "cure" his condition.
