      The only question in the future would be... would you prefer organic or robotic hands? They could probably grow you a new pair of hands from a DNA sample, or just give you some plastic/metal/rubber grabbers.

      It's not science it's confidence in a surgeon and a blessing from god because without god that wouldn't even be possible. God gives man knowledge and perfection etc etc

      If they built a bomb yes that would be science but here they used few tools and their own brain that doesn't need science

      I lost a very close friend to suicide so I know what that's like. I'm truly sorry for what happened to your mother.
      I wish you the best, you are very kind.

    • @bess00
      @bess00 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      That's the first thing that I thought after hearing about his transplant. I was worried that his bones weren't strong enough and could break if stressed with some exercises and I think that part of the rehabilitation consisted in strengthen the bone, and with time, while growing, his bones will be like they were attached to him since he was born.

    It's really heart wrenching hearing him describe what it's like just to be able to use his hands something he didn't have the opportunity to use in the past.
    We really take things for granted, what might be our normalcy might be an astranged concept to others. I'm just thankful that there are those out there who win help :).
