      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.

      @@autismman102 It can look real without being disturbing. It's just, very difficult and obviously it is still in the early stages.
      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.

    As a musician, losing a hand has always been terrifying to me. At the very least, I'm glad to be born in a time where if I were to lose a hand, it likely wouldn't be too long before we would have prosthetics that would allow me to play music again. Plus you could make cool modifications to it, like extra fingers, that would let you do new and exciting things

    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 :)

      @just another human Explain CRISPR if viruses aren't real. 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.

      Pixels It's awfully misleading. They're conflating "born that way" amputees, with severely Injured amputees. The amount of injured amputees that can wear prosthetics is a lot lower than BTW amputees. The myoelectric models are heavy, unwieldy and WAY overpriced! Absurd considering how useless they are.

      When you grow up with such a "defect"(and I hesitate to call it that) you never think that you're not normal, at least I never did. You just develop along a different line from other people. Personally, I can't wait to be the first to have a "grown" heart.
