Hey all--
In Emerging Technologies class we are writing a critical analysis paper in which I have chosen to write about bionic limbs as identity. After watching Aimee Mullins on TED Blog, I have come to the conclusion, bionic limbs are so bad after all -- they can actually be a fashion statement.
It is true, however, that bionic limbs are just as much part of an individuals identity just as our "real" body parts are. Aimee Mullins has made the best of her bionic situation. She is a beautiful lady who has even been featured in fashion runway shows. She has over a dozen different pairs of prosthetic legs including detailed, hand-carved wooden legs that look like wooden boots, glass legs, jelly fish legs to name a few.
Aimee Mullins has definitely made a fashion statement with her legs!
