Bionic e-limbs

I hope the production of bionic e-limbs (electronic limb) gives a new hope to those who lose their limbs. Good thing is this bionic limb is able to work on the signal send by the brain. It is directly attached to the body and contains a micro processor which passes the brain signals to motor sensor of the fingers. And move finger and hold stuffs accordingly with the object’s size or shape. Its costs range from $5000 to $7000. But the cost found to be accepted for having extra benefit to the users. It is more close to our natural hands so users feel nice as having natural limbs. If users are able to forget that they are using an artificial limb then that’s a pleasant impact of such a development. It will benefit victims of accidents and disaster and other people in active service.
