After watching this video I was amazed! Recently, I found out that one of my good friends has lost both of his legs while leading a convoy in Afghanistan. This video gives me hope and in a way puts my mind at ease because I know there is technology out there that is either already available or is being worked on that can give my friend a chance at having as normal a life as possible.

Going along with what Bill said i think that his is great because many people fighting in the armed forces could use the best prosthetic devices and at the quickest time. i just find it interesting how quickly they were able to do the surgery
