Still Waters Posted February 19, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2013 The first bionic hand that allows an amputee to feel what they are touching will be transplanted later this year in a pioneering operation that could introduce a new generation of artificial limbs with sensory perception. The patient is an unnamed man in his 20s living in Rome who lost the lower part of his arm following an accident, said Silvestro Micera of the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne in Switzerland. http://www.independe...el-8498622.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffey Posted February 19, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 19, 2013 That is awesome. Going to be weird if we ever get to a point where a bionic limb is superiour to a natural on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prab Posted February 20, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Thought of this since ages, at last they came up with this thing. I am eager to hear from the person, who gets this implant, how it feels like. Will his hand be stronger than our hand? Maybe? Maybe it will not be equally faster? If scientists are able to able more efficient body parts than we already have then we may enter the age of cyborgs, I seriously think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
