Scientific advancement can do so much for the unfortunate, and prosthesis is one of the amazing ways in which a person can retain a somewhat regular lifestyle, even after a tragic accident.
From prosthetic race controversies to fashionable prosthetics, check out the 13 Prosthespirations that give people a second chance at living a normal life.
Implications - Prosthetics used to exist in the simple hope of helping amputees and victims of tragic accidents retain the function of their fallen limbs; however, the goal is now to help these people live holistically normal lives. Just like everyone else, people who use prosthetic limbs like personal adornment, want to dance, and can appear in fashion editorials.
