  • Bionic technology is removing physical barriers faced by disabled people while raising profound questions of what it is to be human. From DIY prosthetics realised through 3D printing technology to customised AI-driven limbs, science is at the forefront of many life-enhancing innovations

      It depends on the customer wishes. A 20 y.o. would have no problem wearing a futuristic arm, a 70 y.o. however would prefer something more sober, either a "real looking" one or just wearing long sleeves and putting a nice leather glove on the prosthetic hand. The latter would be the most stylish option in my opinion, the best for formal occasions where you have to wear a suit, just make sure that the glove's color matches that of shoes and belt.

      There's phases for it. First the purpose is to make it look real from far off, if you're standing across the street from someone and their prosthetic looks real to the point you can't tell, it's worth it for a lot of people. You then improve from there until it looks real enough to be nigh indistinguishable, they can already do it with statues and artwork trust me it's very possible for a prosthetic arm.

    This is such cool stuff! I’m doing research for a story I’m working on… The main character looses his right hand and I’m trying to make a realistic (at least for the world, cause it’s a magical realism world) prosthetic for him. He is not the best at magic, but he learns how to control objects and stuff, and eventually makes himself a prosthetic to be able to play guitar again. This is definitely sub-plot to the main story, but I need to do it justice out of respect for all the non-fictional amputees out there :)

BTW speaking of CRISPR one of the problems with it is that the synthetic portion of the DNA is usually shed at a very high rate so it works great on modifying seeds of plants or eggs of say fish like the Danio that have thousands of eggs (Dani was the first GMO fish) but it's not great to use on humans since human females don't have a lot of eggs to waste and also the genetically modified bioweapons (such nCov) would fail to be effective before long because they'd rapidly mutate into a non-lethal form which is probably exactly what happened with this nCov nonsense, assuming it really was a bioweapon leak. In any case; these lockdowns aren't justified at all.

    The fact that that dad was able to develop that design without having an engineering degree is incredibly impressive.
