Star Wars prosthetic arm

The new FDA approved prosthetic is going to change the lives of people with prosthetics. The people who use it send brain waves to the prosthetic to control it. It is being created by Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway. The codename of the prosthetic is called Luke. It is called that because of Luke Skywalker. They chose that because his arm was amputated by Darth Vader.

This story is interesting because I know a man who was crushed by a car in Afghanistan. Since then he has had to use different prosthetics and now he can use better ones.
