Re:What will stage 1 prove? (Score 1)

Actually, the muscles are the least of it, they can be given exercises (well, for _some_ of the test groups they can). It's the bones that are the big problem. I spent about two months wholly on my back (after spinal cord injury), and lost a whole lot of bone. Now, you probably won't lose as much if you're not injured, but bones thrive on being weight bearing. Can you spell osteoporosis ? And don't even think about what all the extra caffeine while you're more or less permanently online is doing!
