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.
Yukako Fukushima, a 33-year-old prosthetic maker, displays a silicone eye at her shop in Osaka city, Japan, November 2004. Yukako also makes silicone strap-on fingers for Yakuza members who chop off their pinkies to atone for various trespasses against their gang.
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.
