Man fitted with robotic hand can 'feel' again
- kbenson 11y agoI'm not sure why they felt the need to put "feel" in quotation marks, unless it's to imply it's not really feeling, but "we're just calling it as such", which I think is incorrect. Whether it's the exact same feeling (which is left ambiguous) is somewhat irrelevant. Plenty of people suffer nerve damage and have reduced feeling in portions of their body. I don't think we'd consider their loss of fidelity in feeling to not really be feeling. And I don't consider it being through a prosthetic limb to be relevant at all.
