The Teen With The Bionic Arms | SHAKE MY BEAUTY

SUBSCRIBE to Barcroft TV: bit.ly/Oc61Hj
A DETERMINED TEENAGER with bionic arms champions diversity by showing the world it’s ‘cool to be different.’ Tilly Lockey, from County Durham, UK had both her arms amputated at 15 months old after contracting Group B meningococcal septicaemia. The 13-year-old was the first teenager in Britain to receive a pair of the 3D-printed bionic arms in 2016. Constantly in demand for her modelling work, Tilly extensively travels the world raising awareness for meningitis - the condition which almost took her life as a baby. Follow her story here:

Just discovered this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJDFo6GBr8Rlqqs Damn if they aren't good! A fully working arm that react and interact with nerve. Meaning you just need to relearn the right way to move. With sensor for heat, pressure and all (and those work with nerve too) it's just like the original arm. Good but I love this era: science so great that resemble miracle! Sure, it ain't cheap, but I'm sure they'll find a way to lessen the costs.

Yeah, it's big technological step for disabled people, but we're still nowhere near from perfection, and by that I mean artificial hands that gives the same sensation that biological ones.

"Disabled" doesn't even suit these kinds of people anymore. This girl can do plenty of things even without her hands.

Zap Gun isn't saying that they want to lose their hands but that they'd like their functional arms to look that cool, something that Tilly is clearly a fan of. Having folks jump in to call people out when they were just being honest is sorta the worst because it portrays disability as a taboo subject, and paints any positivity about it as rudeness. That, in turn, makes it a thousand times harder to be disabled because everyone is constantly tripping over themselves to be more polite than honest. I know it came from a good place though, so no judgement. Just trying to communicate the thing.
