Climbing 103 Floors On a 'Bionic' Leg 117
An anonymous reader writes "4 years ago I read about experimental targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) surgery on Slashdot. 3 years ago I crashed my motorcycle and had my leg amputated — at which time I had TMR done. Today I climbed 103 floors of the Willis Tower in Chicago with a experimental prosthetic using TMR. Thanks, Slashdot."

Wondering if the data collected from this cyborg (yes dude you're now a cyborg)
You'd be surprised how many cyborgs there are. There are a lot of folks with artificial joints, pacemakers, cochlear implants, and all sorts of artificial machinery incorporated into their bodies.
When it's time for you to become a cyborg, not only will resistance be futile, you will be damned glad to be assimilated.
