Default Bionic Arms.....

As some of you all know, I have a real life interest in prosthetic limb development. Here is a new article on such development and how it is helping returning US Service members with sever injuries.

and a companion article:

Very interesting article I hope everything goes in your favor!

I wonder what will happen first: We understand the brain well enough to prefect things like bionic arms or; great breakthroughs are made in medicine allowing people to have limbs regenerated.

50 years ago that was science science fiction now its near future very exciting stuff!

Along with research on restoring eyesight, one of the most meaningful medical work out there...
