  • Resumen

  • This NPR award-winning episode dives into the boundaries of the human body and explores how, with exciting scientific developments, those boundaries may be on the brink of disappearing. 

    I share the stories of two amputees who have had to overcome those limits but struggle with the conflicted reality of their experience, particularly given the 200-year-old approach to amputation and the shortcomings of current prosthetic technology. I then highlight the bionic revolution that is happening now and discuss the exciting Ewing technology that allows an amputee to have neurological control of a new functional limb. 

    What does this technology make possible? And what does it mean if we can create a bionic man who can surpass all physical hurdles? This podcast examines the experience of the human body and what it will mean in the future.
