Motorcycle Accident Results In Bionic Bottom

Posted by samzenpus on from the we-can-build-it-better dept.

Noishe writes "A man involved in a motorcycle accident in the UK has been given an alternative to the dreaded colostomy bag. He now carries around a remote control to activate his "bionic bottom" made out of muscles taken from above his knee. The muscles were wrapped around his sphincter and then attached to electrodes that are controlled by a remote control he now carries in his pocket."
