Bionic Hands for the Soldiers

Well, not all of them, just one in particular.

A 27 year old Iraq war veteran who lost his hand has been outfitted with a new robot hand that has movable fingers that flex. The hand is called the iLimb and is one of the first of its kind available to wounded soldiers. It contains 5 individual motors that allow it to be used just like a real hand. It is even covered with something that looks like human skin.

I think this is great and it has the potential to offer hope to a lot of soldiers out there. There is no "good side" to being wounded soldiers. However, knowing that being wounded is not the end of the world must be very comforting.
