World's First Double-Arm Transplant

Posted by michael on from the leg-up-on-the-competition dept.

quakeslut writes "The BBC has the scoop on the first double-arm transplant. Amazingly, after only two weeks or so, the recipient says that it already feels "as if these are my own hands." Please, keep the "give that guy a hand, or two!!" jokes to a minimum."

    What do you mean if he weren't dead? With today's technology?

    1. Find Bruce Lee's dead corpse.

    2. Extract his DNA.

    3. Find a pig.

    4. Insert Lee's DNA into the pig.

    5. Wait a few months for the arms to grow.

    6. ???

    7. Profit!!
