An episode of Extraordinary People - The Boy Who Sees Without Eyes" is as inspirational as it gets. After discovering her son Ben had cancer in both eyes Ben's mother Aquinetta had a life changing decision to make for her son. Either continue chemo and hope that the cancer does not spread down the optic nerve and straight through to his brain or take out the eyes now and save his life. Apparently nobody told Ben. He is able to do everything a normal 14 year old can do by use of his self taught "clicking" method. Ben bounces sound off of the objects near by to determine what, where, how big, how close and it seems to be working because he plays basketball, rollerblades, rides a bike and even plays video games. A must see.
