True story from Popular Science.

If I were him, I would have elected for some missile launcher hands or machine gun fingers or something cool. A plain ol' hand I-)

His original hand was basically useless, it seems. The thread title is misleading...

Um, no it isn't. Amputate means to remove or cut off something useless, usually a limb. If he had said "Cuts off", maybe, but it wasn't misleading.

Also, I want a Chainsaw/Shotgun/Foam Hulk-Hand if I get anything amputated.

Machine gun hands? I'd want an Energon Axe.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.

If I wasn't a punk, I would so do that. One of my many phobias is amputation.

Speaking of not having a spine, I'd like to back out of the whole Impactor knife-for-a-hand deal. Knowing me, I'd end up slicing my face off while swatting flies or picking my nose.

I'd go with Mega Man's arm cannon. Regular hand, for practicality; laser cannon, for smiting my enemies; and a huge number of other settings. "Oh, need the hedges trimmed? It's cool, I beat Cutman this morning."

And yeah, the title is a bit misleading. I thought this was going to be about some crazy dude who cut off his arm so he could attach a robot arm. I didn't know it was about a disabled man who volunteered for an entirely reasonable elective surgery.

I'd go with some retractable blades and a plasma cannon when they actually get invented.

I was just thinking today, that if I had an engineering degree, I so would invent a hand with retractable blades... and a Mega Buster, too.

Haha I didn't see the megabuster comments until after I had already posted. Looks like I'm not alone!
