I have been an amputee for 19 years and you guys need to chill out. Yes, it sucks that our system grossly underfunds prosthetic and clinical development, however, take time to look at the larger picture. By virtue of our country spending billions in military expenditures, many areas in medical advancement are and will remain underfunded. Try and take pleasure in the fact that initiatives to promote prosthetic studies are being taken. I am not mandating complacency or suggesting passivity, I am merely pointing out that there are those whose illnesses and mental defects will never have an opportunity to receive the attention or the governmental backing that the area of prosthetics is currently receiving. And you are right, no one in power cares what losing a limb has done in your life. They are too busy worrying about trivial things such as diplomacy, globalization, and what a mess they created by catering to oil cartels to unjustly maximize profit. sidenote: Obama 08
