If we're going in that direction, might as well get rid of those useless bio legs and replace them with robot legs

- k__ 6y agoI'd assume some people aren't fond of surgery.
- tgflynn 6y agoI think a bigger problem is that there isn't really a good safe way to directly interface a human limb to a mechanical one. Conventional prostheses distribute weight over tissues that didn't evolve to carry those loads and are therefore much less comfortable than a natural leg.
- ufmace 6y agoMmm yeah, I suppose you'd have to figure out a way to connect up to bones for structural support and to connect actuators to. But hey as long as we're dreaming big, why not?
- k__ 6y agoI'm not dreaming big. I just asked if we could strap people to these things to let them climb stairs, lol
