Voluntary Amputation

It was only last week that I wrote about the staggering improvements in prostheses, particularly those for legs.  Those improvements have led some to cut off more of their already amputated leg so that they can use the new generation of prostheses.  Pain using their current prosthesis has been a common reason for some to go through the process of losing part of one's leg once more.  Others do it because they want to live a more active life. The bionic man of 20th century tv is becoming more and more a reality.
