When I was in kindergarten, my principal lost his hand and forearm in an accident. He was gone for a long time of the school year and when he came back he had a prosthetic that had a slight hook that could connect and pinch. He told us all that he was in Neverland with Peter Pan and Captain Hook gave him a hook too. Such a sweet man. I haven’t seen him in decades I hope that he had something amazing like this now.

[@Karina_Engr]

What a feel good story. Thank you engineers, scientists, volunteers, parents, doners, and anyone else I’m forgetting.

[@Acemobilesuit]

If you got a good settlement or have insurance of a rich person my mom lost her leg in a car accident and she has never been offered a decent prosthetic

[@evolicious]

@@Acemobilesuit bruh. There are entire communities that 3D print custom prosthetics for FREE. Just use google. No need to buy one of these insanely overpriced prosthetics these days when tons of people just built them themselves and give them away. It's really not a lot of work and cost these days to make one yourself too.

[@SungazerDNB]

​@@Acemobilesuit that's in the USA. We all know it's a third world country 😅

[@AdamJensen_]

@@SungazerDNB Europe is a continent actually. But cope harder, 3rdworlder. I know you're just bitter you'll never be an Amerigod. For that I feel so sorry for you 😅

[@etiennen4136]

So the US is only spending $100m on prosthetics but spending $200B on destroying a country and murdering 100s of thousands. And then also spending close to $900B on trying to wipe out the world

[@StealthyDead]

That last story is the stuff of magic. I mean it all is, but literally rewiring a human's ability to use their OWN limb again? That's amazing and ground breaking

[@Truth-Freedom-Justice]

It’s just a bypass way to skip the injured spine by connecting brain to the peripheral nerves and muscles. Idea is simple but the effort they put into must be huge!

[@onepunch9416]

absolutely beautiful

[@ericlanglitz2394]

This gave me an idiot’s “a-ha” moment, recalling that the human body will literally build new blood vessels to re-route around blockages. I wish I was knowledgeable enough to understand why nerves can’t do the same. If science could transition that hurdle, this seems to be closest example in practice. Amazing stuff.

[@junovicz]

Pretty awesome technology

[@whizbang7130]

Amazing work by gifted people. Very heartfelt episode.

[@KatySueWho]

That final man’s story absolutely took my breath away. Astounding. Scientifically provided miracle.

[@ashroskell]

It is comforting to see that journalists are still capable of doing genuinely fascinating stories about how not all technologies are necessarily inherently, “threatening,” in some way. And it’s heart warming to see how these patients can enter into a genuinely rewarding form of, “enlightened self interest,” wherein they contribute to scientific understanding and development by receiving the very latest and best help that science has to offer, in return for their participation in shifting forward the boundaries of the possible. A great story all round. And I’m so glad that 60 Minutes still takes the time to cover (and return to) these paradigm altering stories. Thanks for that. In ten years from now, I suspect your follow up stories to be reporting on wonders we thought impossible today. Technology is moving so quickly now.

[@christianamador4054]

This gives me chills. I have so much respect for the people who worked on this. These prosthetics are life changing!

[@edwardhighmann6421]

If only you had people dedicated to solving problems like this. Instead of creating more. Great piece

[@DrRobertMPick]

This is awesome! 10 years from now we'll look back at this and see how much further we have come. Hopefully alo in the future, cloning may help some grow back lost/injured, or severed body parts!

[@evolicious]

10 years from now, it will still be insanely overpriced and only for rich people, except there might be some better options in the home-made custom market with 3D printing and CNC.

[@coyotePAC3]

It's like watching the Wright Flyer's first flight or the Apollo 11 moon landing - what a time to be alive!

[@modsurgeon]

@@evolicious Sure, just like cell phones, home computers, continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps, airline travel, 65" flat screen TVs, digital watches...

[@EddyKorgo]

In 10 years i will be dead and my son will be living on Mars while you waiting for fap hand. Seriously. We are so behind with some technologies. It hurts

[@chaddaddywarden4349]

Kinda sucks that this sector of tech is progressing so slowly bc its not as profitable as others

[@muatring]

The fact that you can control a robotic limb meters away from you with your own mind is mindblowing to me. Reconnecting your brain to parts you lost control of is also really interesting.

[@markpage9886]

There is no limits to how far I'd go for the brave men and women who sacrificed so much of themselves. They deserve all and more than all.

[@MGrey-qb5xz]

how about not using ports in skull for it?

[@Harrison.DuRant]

@@MGrey-qb5xz Wut?

[@paulazemeckis7835]

Do you have a better place to recommend than the skull?

[@evphex]

First hand shake in 8 years. Awesome man.

[@justtim1269]

One of the greatest episodes your wonderful program has ever done. Truly hair raising and mind blowing. Very powerful. The future is bright

[@monsieur_piyushsingh]

My project at IIT Delhi was something similar to the last one except that instead of using electric current to control muscles, I was using current to track the nerves during surgical operations

[@antipop885]

Omg the story of the last person in this segment is amazing 🤯

[@mistycloud4455]

i am tearing up the people involved in this technology are amazing

[@PsychicThursday]

Great story and advancements. Incredible work by these scientists, engineers, and technicians, and the participants

[@DETROIT1948]

Had my left leg amputated at the VA Hospital in Tampa in Dec 2021. I walk on a prothesis. I'm on my forth leg. Soon I will run. I'm 75. God Bless The VA.

[@codyhanthorn4270]

this is the kind of stuff that units us in all manners. I really love advancements like this.

[@ledwysdelgado7304]

That's amazing. Hopefully, they can make it better in a few more years.

[@adim00lah]

Seeing stuff like this makes me appreciate I have 4 properly working limbs. I hope they continue to make breakthroughs in this area for people, because this technology is desperatly needed for many people.

[@williamgibble8361]

On the verge of a cure for being paralyzed!!! Omg that is outstanding 👏

[@chicodimdim3025]

That story about the man at the end just wanting to be able to shake someone’s hand and say hi just makes me appreciate the small things in my life. I am so happy to see people benefiting from this technology. Definitely had a tear of joy here.

[@nozyspy4967]

The idea of going straight from the brain to the limb and bypassing the damaged spinal cord is ingenious!

[@garryblack764]

That is truly fantastic! Thank you for sharing.

[@icyBulls]

So happy to see them feel back to normal again.

[@bigj1905]

I can’t believe that, in just a decade or two, basic cybernetics are probably going to be a reality for most amputees. Crazy.

@@evolicious Are you saying that in 10 years there will be no advancement in robotics?

[@dragoonduneman4161]

@@Pestbringer89 sadly that will be the case, technology move slow for gadget for the human body. Sometime some new tech comes along and its not really an improvement as its just a sidestep.

[@glmorten]

Wow the last story was crazy. One thing as a society we need to be mindful of is when we open up doors like this there are new problems introduced. I dont know what they are and could hypothesize but we must make sure proper safety rails are in place.

This is some incredible research I am interested in how neural link will fit in among these solutions.

[@m_sedziwoj]

Overtake brain - computer interface, and will make progress a lot faster because make it easier for people to use it. But first they must pass clinic tests, because in monkey they works great, question is how with humans.

Holy heck , that wild

[@ohhhgggeeezzz]

wooooowwww love this story!

[@4729Punisher]

I was at the lake with my family, mom, dad, brother, and sister. I dove off the side of a jet ski, and no one was looking, I was maybe 30 feet away from everyone. I dove in head first and slammed into the sand, I remember my body going numb instantly and month, nose filling up with sand. In like .1 of a second, I thought, "Oh no, this is bad, really bad." I made it out with no problems. However, I feel really lucky because of how scarry it was in the moment. I thought for sure I was dead or paralyzed, and no one had seen me get in. It scared me so bad that I never did it again or anything like that. I always check and make sure my 18yo and 2yo kids never do anything like that. Because at the time, I didn't think I could die or get paralyzed. But it's that easy. This guy probably thought the same, and boom, just like that, you're gone. My advice to anyone is to always let your kids and family know what you're doing and how easy it is to leave this world and to just watch out, keep your eyes open, and your brain on.

[@Danuxsy]

Yeah life has a lot of hidden dangers and we can get hurt easily. I'm glad you made it out fine! 😊
