As reality gets closer to science fiction The Washington Journal reports about Claudia Mitchell who has become the first woman to receive a bionic arm:
Mitchell, who lives in Ellicott City, is the fourth person — and first woman — to receive a “bionic” arm, which allows her to control parts of the device by her thoughts alone. The device, designed by physicians and engineers at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, works by detecting the movements of a chest muscle that has been rewired to the stumps of nerves that once went to her now-missing limb.
No mention is made in the story about whether its still makes the same noise as in the 6 Million Dollar Man.
