This is one of the coolest damn things I've seen in a while, she's a true cyborg!
I think the coolest thing is that she has a limited sense of touch.

This one is also pretty cool, couple of years ago. It was the first time I heard they had incorporated touch, but looks awesome.
Cyberpunk 2077 here we come! I need me some fucking Gorilla Arms! Lets Fucking Go!! Lol, j/k
fucking Gorilla Arms
Flash forward to the 2A people demanding their right to Bear Arms
Some how I bet it actually cost $6,000,000
you forget that in europe, the insurance probably has to pay all that money.
And you forget that in Europe there's no insurance, but an ACTUAL NHS!
(not to mention that, being a prototype, was probably free)
Wait what? I live in the Netherlands and pay about a 140 a month for health insurance.
Why on earth do you do that? Is it to cover dental or something?
I think you missed what their on about. Probably you weren't growing up in the 70s
that's true. what do you think they meant?
It’s not the up front cost that makes the investors money, it’s the maintenance plan.
That's gorgeous both legs, the arm and one eye or ear
I want one
Which limbs are you ready to cut off?
You can teach your body to use extra limbs, I'm going full Doc Ock.
Left testicle.
My friend lost one of his due to cancer. He said it only made the other one more potent.
It will cost an arm and a leg!
Cyberpunk or Ghost in the shell vibes.
God damnit if this isn't the perfect superhero movie waiting to happen
Marvel, get on it. Miss Bionic Saves The World, I want it in films by 2025
Nobody said they expected it to fuse. Only that it just...did. There's your origin/accident-in-the-lab scene.
Yeah Science, bitch!
How long has she been using it? It says
- she's two decades without hand, and now can use this
- this one used for years
- she has less pain issues now
So has she been using this for two decades? Some years but less?
Seems like they connected it after using more traditionals for a while?
No, it says she was without her right hand for decades, and that she got this one three years ago. So I assume she did not use traditional prosthetics?
I didn't see it in the article, but that hand seems to be missing a wrist, right? So far "only" the fingers and the thump are driven.
