Dean Kamen: New prosthetic arm for veterans



Uploaded by: TEDtalksDirector
Video Description:
http://www.ted.com - Inventor Dean Kamen previews the extraordinary prosthetic arm he's developing at the request of the Department of Defense, to help the 1,600 "kids" who've come back from Iraq without an arm (and the two dozen who've lost both arms). Kamen's commitment to using technology to solve problems, and his respect for the human spirit, have never been more clear than in this deeply moving clip.

You wouldn't think so if you didn't have an arm. Certainly it would be more practical not to start the war.

well that's good. how about let's stop having them lose their arms in the first place. reminds me of the fruits of medical success, all our elderly people ending up in electric wheelchairs instead of having use of their legs.

Fuck you! I hope you lose all your limps and get cock-rot, you motherfucker! He calls them "kids" because ummm.. DUH! Most new recruits are at least 18... HENCE THEY ARE STILL YOUNG KIDS you fucking asshole! Do us a favor, take some downers, listen to some Morissey at full volume with a bottle of scotch in one hand and a shot gun in the next aimed at your balls so you can spare us the tragedy of spawning inbred, mung-headed creatures like yourself!

Mostly teenagers are the new recruits sent to war... old enough to kill, and yet to young to buy their last fucking beer legally. Yes, they are kids, and they are sacrificing their young lives for something. Is it right? Of course not, but our elected leaders are crap, right? They are still young men, barely men... mostly kids, beloved children of thousands of mothers and fathers. Show some respect, man! At least, use your head.

My head tells me that to much families already paid their duty to the country...always the same kids killed....hope that history show them respect...

I too, have a brachial plexus injury, but it's from birth. I have approximately 20% usage of my arm; is this something may be considered for people with shoulder dystocia, or would some sort of cellular regeneration technology be more likely in the future?
