Would have been funny if his wife had been ugly. "Damn I married that? I must be blind!"

The intriguing thing is just what electronic components may be in the device.

The media's funk has molested the reading prisoners to such an extent that it's almost surreal to contemplate a profound human interest story such as this when it comes up. Badger digs and fortunately finds. The cancer connection trajectories for Stargardt's happen on chromosome 9q22-31.

Stargardt's Macular Dystrophy / Ovarian
Amplification of the ATP-binding cassette 2 transporter gene is functionally linked with enhanced efflux of estramustine in ovarian carcinoma cells. - PubMed - NCBI

Stargardt's ABC1 Transporter
ABC transporters in lipid transport. - PubMed - NCBI
'....ABC1 essential for the exit of cholesterol from cells....'

This is an intriguing transporter, for understudied are what are called cholesterol clefts in the most common world skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma. Thus far, it seems that no one has yet made an ABC1 connection to basal cell carcinoma, though it would appear that this transporter's dysfunction may cause cholesterol crystal precipitation in cancer cells.
