The image above shows Claudia Mitchell, the first female to receive a prosthetic arm that is solely manipulated by her thoughts. What's special is not the bionic arm itself being displayed, but the sense that Claudia isn't ashamed of her new arm. Even though it will never be the arm she was born with, she looks to embrace it as if she had been born with it. Not only does the prosthetic arm allow her to do more normal activities with ease, but it actually seems to make her feel more confident as her normal self now.
After looking at the image, it gave me a sense of pride of being who I am no matter what my current situation may be. An even greater feeling is that people who lost limbs, or are disabled in any physical way has hope now to maintain a more normal life through prosthetics.
