Wow. Thats interesting. I wonder if the body will reject the hand. Probably not. Weird.
it scares me that things like that are being done .while not having a hand is misfortunate it interfears with natural selection.
I think it's crazy what doctors are doing with people these days.
It's amazing to look back at the old days how they did things and look into the present and see how things are done now, with all the technology we have.
