runemetsa Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 One day I wondered. I wondered, how common are prostheses and other replacements, and how my life would be if I had one. The whole idea hit me when I got my gold tooth assembled week ago, and I thought "hey, this is a prosthesis!". Then, my friend told me that his granpa lost his leg in a war when he stepped on a mine. It made me think. So... Does anyone have any replacements, and if you have, how do you feel about it? Is it hard to live with it? How good they are today? Does someone you know have something? comments.

jak722 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Better an artificial limb than none at all. :-k The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the weighted companion cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam007 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 As technology only gets better, body replacements won't be artificial anymore. Already some organs like bladders have been grown in labs and transplanted into humans successfully. Once stem cell research inevitably breaks past the the progress-road-block of republicans, we can achieve even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigra00 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I have a vaneer over my right front tooth, and a cap/vaneer over the left one, which broke in half. The right one had hair-line fractures in it, so they covered it up to protect it. Only thing I can't do is bite into apples with my front teeth, basically. Lol.

I could live without legs, but living without arms (and both, wtf) would be so hard. Ever try doing a simple task like making a sandwhich with one hand? I did it last night while I was on the phone and it was hard. Two hands gone...And you can't really do much of anything, lol.

Guest GhostRanger Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 As technology only gets better, body replacements won't be artificial anymore. Already some organs like bladders have been grown in labs and transplanted into humans successfully. Once stem cell research inevitably breaks past the the progress-road-block of republicans, we can achieve even more. Republicans have never expressed with a problem with adult stem-cell research by the way - and adult stem cell research is the only type that has ever produced any results. Embryonic stem-cell research has yet to give any actual results like people claim it will - yet adult stem-cell research has. By the way, I don't agree with the Republicans about embryonic stem-cell research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
