Does anybody know of a credible organization to donate to that is providing aid for the victims?
Not knocking the technology at all, it really can be life-changing for people with Parkinson’s disease. But it’s been around for a while, it was approved in the US by the FDA in the late 90s. A chip is not implanted, but rather electrodes in the brain that connect to the controller elsewhere.
Source: I’m an anesthesiologist who has done the anesthesia for this surgery multiple times, including this morning.
If you’re interested and able to donate, check out a few organizations that are providing aid. I donated to the International Medical Corps because a Libyan friend of mine has worked with them in the past and vouches for them.
