• Question: do you think scientists will be able to create something like a new limb which could be given to someone who has come back from war with something amputated for example which could work exactly like the limb before and actully looked and felt like it too?

      I think that one day there will be artificial limbs that can be connected up to the nerves so that they work in nearly the same way as the original limb. I don’t know whether they will be able to make limbs that work exactly like the original one, or that look and feel like real limbs.
