    She has to live with it.

    I don't think it's holding the thing on, but it does look like there is some. xD

    Yay science!I wonder if you could give one of those arms some sort of AI.

    It's amazing; it seems every day there's a new amazing technological advancement.

    I'm happy for her, and I hope more people who have tragically lost limbs can also receive a bionic replacement.

    I wonder if you could trick the brain into thinking it's connected to more than two arms... if so, Goro could rule!

    Of course, there are far more interesting things to do than have extra arms.

    She actually doesn't have the only arm like this. I read thing the other day about a guy with a simpiler arm but none the less he was able to control it well with his thoughts. Just no feeling for him.

    Doubt it, to what nerves would you connect the extra limb? You'd have to find a few that weren't used for anything else, I'd assume.

    Well yeah, obviously it's a whole 'nother ball game, but I was just airing the basic idea.

    That's the big thing, the fact that she's regained feeling in the arm rather than it just being a prosthesis. Since we rely a lot on our sense of touch to co-ordinate our limbs having a "numb" arm that can move is very tricky to use. This on the other hand is much easier for a person to use. It's a two-way street as oppose to a one-way one. Rather than you just telling the arm what to do, the arm's giving you feedback as well.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Looks like I'll be able to have my lightsaber battles and not have to worry as much about losing a hand.

    That's great for that woman!

    But I do wonder how she lost her arm...
    was all like to who was acctually feeling due to the fact that :oscar: & :frylock: couldn't go to his b'day party. patted him on the back and :mog: said there's always next year. felt more , felt , but :moose: (who knows when (as the person he is) he came in) was more of a . :magus: jumped in and told that no one really likes him. BROKEN ran everyone over with a :sophia:. So lived happily ever after, especially after he had with :rsl:
    The end!

    66% of sig statistics are fake- and so is this one.
