Women Wants Her Hand To Be Cut Off And Replaced With A Bionic One.

A British woman is considering having her hand cut off and replaced with a bionic one after she lost use of her right arm following a car crash.


Nicola Wilding, 35, suffered serious neck and shoulder injuries 13 years ago, which left her entire right arm paralysed. Although nerve transplants and physiotherapy allowed her to regain movement in her upper arm, her hand has remained paralysed and withered. She is now hoping to have the hand removed because she said it is “useless” and merely gets in the way. Mrs Wilding believes a bionic hand would change her life by allowing her to carry out basic tasks such as cooking and dressing. She said she was inspired to take the drastic step after seeing a television news bulletin about an Austrian man who underwent elective amputation to have his withered hand replaced with a prosthetic one.
