About 12 years ago I got into a nasty car crash, tore apart the nerves that control one arm, they're in the "Brachial Plexus". Docs did what they could to sew them back up but that sort of injury never really heals properly, so now I'm left with a semi-useless arm that won't get any better as time goes on.
A friend linked me yesterday to an article that piqued my interest and reminded me of an older article about DARPA's research:
An Austrian man has voluntarily had his hand amputated so he can be fitted with a bionic limb.

Brachial Plexus Lesion? That's exactly what I have, think I need to email this prof
DARPA's Mind-Controlled Prosthetic Arm Could Be on the Market in Four Years

Now, strap one of these babies on and lets go!
So yeah, how cool would that be? Chop off the old useless meaty one and replace it with a gorgeous, functional, metal one. Would make the spartan cybernetic arm cosplay a heck of a lot easier too!
Lemme know what you guys think!
