Beyond bionics: how the future of prosthetics is redefining humanity

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

That boys dad learning how to use a 3D printer just to build an arm for his son is actually incredibly heartwarming.

"what if i want a tentacle"
Oh boy do we have the community for you

I have a friend with a robotic arm. When people ask him about it he tells them he lost his arm in a lightsaber duel

[combatboots]

This girl maxed out her cool points. Deadass, not only was having a bionic arm enough but she took up archery to take it further. Even that other dude was absolutely making killer beats and driving like he was in Cyberpunk. These people are awesome!

The prosthetic arms that are made to look real look creepy.
But the the metal ones look badass

That dad learned FROM SCRATCH to design and 3D print an arm just so his son didn't have to wait for one.

"What if I want...a tentacle?"
*She is one of us.*

Imagine a kid thats so confident that she thinks her arm is cool and then she goes out into the world and ends up feeling weird about it. Her mom did such an awesome job and society made it harder.

When she de-attaches and re-attaches different hands to her arm, it looks like something out of a video game when you swap your weapons before going on a mission.

The dad who took it upon himself to build his son an arm with no experience, needs a bloody standing ovation.

[kaos]

This is so cool, has no one realized she literally has a collection of historic tech that shows the evolution of bionic limbs?

[JohnnyVanCash]

The enthusiasm of the Angel Giuffria and her family is making me cry, so pure emotions and bonds between parents and children.

Being a cyborg instantly makes you 100% cooler than everyone else

[spasspasov]

Imagine arguing with a person with a bionic arm and the LEDs turn red.

[chillikrabathor]

Oh man I always thought bionic limbs were awesome af since I was a kid. Seeing Angel just switch her hands made my day. Amazing.

[notokkid]

"What if I want a tentacle?"
I'm sold.

“We can rebuild him, we have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better... stronger... faster."

"You have a metal arm? Dude, that is so awesome!"

That’s strait up a bold woman. She had a solid heart and is a guiding light to those who have lost a limb and shows there is hope to be better then normal.
