The Real Bionic Woman

Claudia Mitchell is a woman that after a tragic motorcycle crash and attempts by doctors lost her left arm up to the shoulder, meaning she was not able to control her prosthetic arm. She had surgery done to reinnervate her arm so that she could control it. During the surgery they put her severed sensory nerves and motor nerves in her chest so that she could control her arm and feel touch and temperature in her missing arm.

My opinion of this story is that it is a very interesting story. I think it could be used for future progress and advances in the medical field. I think that people should make this a bigger thing and support it. It is awesome to live in a generation that can make medical advances like these. I am looking forward to seeing more progress in the medical field.
