Used to give plasma. There was this guy who donated all the time who had an arm cut off at the elbow.

They stuck the needle right into the center of the stump. It was unsettling.

At what point is it acceptable to cut off my arm to replace it with robot arm?

8 years ago | Likes 26 Dislikes 0

It's a risky procedure but I think it's worth it

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I've got garbage knees. If I could just have robot legs that'd be dope.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

They probably wouldnt take the whole leg (waste of money). They could replace the knees with special robot joints though.

You know what is wonderful and mystical? We are not far from someday where people will WILLINGLY chop limbs off to have them replaced.

legs are allready very close, arms are still long away, but we are not that far... I can see in the next 4-5 years military use for these.

I wish I knew why women with prosthetics turn me on. I need Jesus.

I wouldn't go out on a limb and suggest why. But you're got to hand it to them; they sure have a leg up on the competition.

Sorry for the dumb, but what does the Food and Drug Administration have to do with prosthetics?

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

They also regulate medical devices and diagnostic tools like the software used to read x-rays

I'm curious how much of the rapid advancement of prosthetics is a result of the increased demand due to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Asking the real question. Good job. +1 and ya beat me to it.

And the availability and price of arduino, rasberry pi and 3d printing.

I think the boston marathon bombing also contributed to a spike in demand.

More it's the greater ability to design / build by enthusiasts now Vs in the past. Computer design limbs in freeware, make inexpensively.

cancer rates and diabetes rates are higher too. Plenty of reasons. Mostly it's the 3-D printing that lets a determined dad make it for a kid

A lot of medical advancements have happened during wars. Necessity is the mother of invention.

People dont realize that. WW2 had a shot ton of gain on medical and scientific breakthroughs.

That's a pretty solid question with some potentially intriguing implications.

War is good! it fuels prosthetic advancement! Eventually we will just transfer our brain to a fully robotic suit! Lets start all the wars!

We have always been at war with Eastasia.

But we need MORE wars! If the amount of war we have now got us this far, then more war would speed things up, no? #ThatsHowItWorks

that mind-upload thing is probably pretty far off, because such a big part of what makes you you is being stuck in a fragile meat suit
