These new limbs will use regenerated tissue, lengthened bone, titanium prosthetics and implantable sensors that allow an amputee to use nerves and brain signals to move the arm or leg. <br>Spin-off technology will no doubt include other parts of the body such as the vocal apparatus. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://whatcounts.com/t?ctl=B0AFBF:2ECB75B" target="blank">whatcounts.com/t?ctl=B0AFBF:2ECB75B</a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
