Steve Austin, move over...introducing the new bionic man.
Here is an amazing story of a man who had both arms amputated after an electrical accident, now operating prosthetics with his brain. When the man thinks about closing his hands, they close. When he thinks "open hand," it opens.At some point of the development, according to a report, "tiny sensors in the fingertips will allow [the patient] to feel texture and temperature. Doctors at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago said the breakthrough could change the lives of amputees, patients with spinal cord injuries and stroke victims."
This is a truly exceptional development that offers wonderful hope to the countless people who have experienced similar losses. Unfortunately, the prices tag is expected to be around $6 million. (For you 70's TV buffs, that does, coincidentally, make him a real "$6 Million Man")

Hey old man, whose Steve Austin?
Ugh.
Alex probably thinks he is a professional wrestler from a few years back that went by "Stone Cold"
have you ever wondered how much Austin would cost in today's money?
He would be well over $30 Mil.
I'm waiting for Alex's to ask, "WHO'S 'Stone Cold'?"
