I've always been quite fascinated by prosthetics and cybernetics.
I would be willing to trade most of my biological body parts that have limited lifespans for self-healing synthetic replacements.
- Jemmeh 9y agoThe unfortunate thing is currently prosthetics are much less nimble than real hands. I'd want to see a lot of improvements in that tech before I'd see them as a replacement. In the article she mentions she's had them for a year and is still learning to use them and struggles to do some things.
- ShabbosGoy 9y agoAbsolutely. I’d reckon you can do a lot of gross motor skills with existing prosthetic, but fine motor skills are a long ways off. I haven’t been keeping up with self-healing materials either, but I am certain they are also in a nascent state.
- YeGoblynQueenne 9y agoIt should be noted that we are still a very long way from creating a useful replacement for our olfactory system, our digestive system, our circulatory system and our reproductive system, among other things that make life worth living.
