Advancements in bionics are truly incredible, with no foreseeable limits in what we can be capable of. Mindset is the first obstacle, technology is the second, yet both are capable of being overcome and increased. -Mack A few quotes from both this short video and those that follow it by other pioneers: I didn’t view my body as broken, I reasoned that a human being can never be broken; technology is broken, technology is inadequate. I quickly realized that the artificial part of my body is malleable; able of taking on any form, any function, a blank slate to create perhaps structures that extend beyond biological capability. -Hugh Herr The prosthetic limb does not represent the need to replace loss anymore, it can stand as a symbol that the wearer has the power to create whatever they want to create in that space. So people that society once considered to be disabled can now become the architects of their own identities and indeed continue to change those identities, by designing their bodies from a place of empowerment. -Aimee Mullins
