Bionic arm

Channelnewsasia.com:

"Train driver Peter Eberle lost his arm when it was crushed between two carriages 10 years ago and was originally told he could never wear a prosthetic limb because his amputation was too high up the arm."

We are starting to get more and more of these technological break throughs which will have an enormous impact on the quality of people's llives. The Dynamic Arm is as close as you can get to your own arm but they cost 65, 000 AUD at the moment so funding and subsidies will be the only way people will get them. One day things like this will be commonplace but for Peter Eberle it means he can return to a more normal life and that is fantastic.
