Holy shit, I just saw on the news that some guy in Germany got two new arms yesterday after losing his own arms in an accident with some harvesting machine like 6 years ago.
It's fucking insane, I didn't even think it'd be possible to get new arms from somebody that is deceased, I was absolutely amazed. He can already move them and do simple things with them like switching of the lights or whatever and the doctors think he will be able to fully use his hands within 2 years... The entire surgery session took 15 hours and 40 doctors helped doing it all...

Just thought I might as well share this crazy shit... |

They will never function %100, hes probably going to have %20 usage of his arms or less, not to mention lack of nerve sensetivity.  |

hmmm maybe this guy wont but in the future its certainly possible to get close to 100% usage back, you do know that nerves can grow back right? (in your own tissue at least) |
