I kind of hope he changes his mind about going through with it and finds a reason to keep living but that seems unlikely. Isn't the dude expected to die within a couple years anyways because of the condition? I mean honestly I'd rather them let some doctor(s) Frankenstein me up for science and than gradually getting worse and worse until I just die.

There is a difference between attempting something when enough of a breakthrough in regenerative medicine provides even a semblance of working versus performing a "mad scientist" procedure that realistically won't teach us anything we didn't already know. A transected spinal cord won't magically regain function.
