I’m sorry he died. If he had lived, he would have done something extraordinary, but I guess he was already amazing enough.

Ben’s cancer was in check until 2007, when he developed a tumor in his sinus cavity. Intensive treatment failed to knock down the disease.
He passed away on January 19, 2009 at age of 16.

In his final days, Ben enjoyed listening to gospel music and getting neck and back massages. He seemed more concerned about his mother’s emotional state than his own pain, forgoing medications and assuring her that he was fine. “He motivated people who wanted to see again, wanted to live again,” Aquanetta Gordon said. “Ben was blind, but he saw more than most.”

This dude should teach other blind people to see like this! This could revolutionize technology

Only person in the world?? Lots of blind people use a clicking noise method, either tongue or finger clicks to navigate their way around.

The biggest challenge in life is to climb over one’s own ego and then the sky open for blind people AND…for all of us equally!

It is quite amazing what can be done when you forget about your limitations. I can see and have also developed this ability to navigate around my environment with my eyes closed in a similar manner.

Similar thing was shown on Stan Lee’s super humans. I believe its what Courtney was talking about above.

It is simply amazing the brain has the capacity to adapt as such.

Amazing how someone can adapt to the loss of a sense with overcompensating with another; ultimately to a greater degree than anyone could imagine.
This boy was brave and smart and left this world way too early.

$50,000 for eyes? That’s expensive!
Either way, this boy is very brave and sweet.

Society teaches people to worry about obstacles or similar aflictions. Jesus Christ, on the other hand, teaches us that they are meant to exist for God to perform his miracles on us. It’s just a matter of faith. Although, these words weren’t highlighted so much (miracles and faith), they were mentioned and shouldn’t be taken so lightly. God bless you all.

This kid was freakin’ awesome!
Saw this documentary before and when I saw it here I watched it again because it’s that inspiring :D
His story makes me appreciate what I have with sight. Who will admit they tried some clicking around the house to see if they were a natural hehe, I did but I’m not too good so far.

If I ever lose my sight I’m not going to look at a cane as a detriment, just another tool – like eyes themselves and I’ll be cracking shins everywhere to get what I need to do done. Oops, sorry will be my mantra if I can get where I need to be. I’m clumsy enough WITH eyes already that no one would be particularly surprised :P
