15-year-old Swindon, UK-resident Chloe Holmes has become the youngest person in Europe to be fitted with a bionic hand.
After contracting chicken pox as a toddler, Chloe came down with septicemia, which claimed the young girl’s fingers. Her whole life she’s been wearing rubber hands which would cover up her lack of fingers, but were not very functional besides that.

That's one of the most lovely stories I have seen in a long time. That's wonderful, I'm so happy for her.
still not as cool as FMA automail….maybe we're on our way to such amazing innovations….it would be cool and life changing is such a thing existed. This is SOOOOOOO COOL!
Go Chloe! Ignore the morons and stay your champion self!

Its fantastic isn't it, although the thumb looks too long and thin, i understand though that it must have to be that long to work as desired.
