thats cool i feel good fror the disabled who get to use them. but i have to argree with opitimus, that stem cells will do a better job. infact i think that biology will do the better job not just through the use of stem cells but a whole lot more.
thank fuck we dont live in a time where ppl would have left disabled ppl to defend on their own cause they thought it was god punishing them

Stem cells only work when a nerve needs to be repaired. If its a genetic problem stem cells are no good. I’d like one. But a faster one!

For all the people bashing this, it’s a good first step. The first prosthetic limbs were not so practical either, but now people can live without most people even noticing them.
