Another “western scientific tradition rocks, suck it supernaturalists” success story:
Icelandic man, 49, who underwent the world’s first double arm and shoulder transplant 16 months ago reveals he’s now able to lift weights at the gym and hug his grandchildren after making miraculous recovery
He got his arms amputated after they were electrocuted back in the 90’s, and replaced a year and a half ago. And now he’s not only gaining movement in them, but sensation as well.
Soon: cloned arms, no worry of rejection.
There’s an old observation: you might see a lot of abandoned crutches piled up around a faith healer or a witch doctor… but you won’t see many prosthetic legs or eye patches.
