The Bionic Woman is real.

Claudia Mitchell, a woman who lost her arm in a motorcycle accident two years ago, has a bionic arm that she controls via thought. It’s wired to muscles in her chest, and she’s able to move it just as she moves her other arm. She can even feel heat and pressure in her hand, and a year after receiving the arm she is able to peel an orange.

Amazing.
