People have been devising fake arms, legs, noses and virtually every other body part for centuries. Here, a quick look at some of the devices that humans have invented to replace -- or at least approximate -- the irreplaceable.
Researcher Bertolt Meyer, a lifelong user of prosthetic technology and the model for “Rex,” the world’s first “bionic man,” poses with the humanoid at the Science Museum in London on February 5, 2013. The 640,000 GBP ($1 million US) bionic machine has a distinctly human shape and boasts prosthetic limbs, a functional circulatory system (complete with artificial blood), as well as an artificial pancreas, kidney, spleen and trachea.
what a dumb article, completely out of order, not too mention some of things weren't even prostetics. disguises by CIA agents, while cool, are not prostetics as they do not replace a missing body part! And what about hook's hook! the best prostetic in history, not even mentioned! perfect for gutting lost boys and fish.
