Scientists develops a technology that can clone fingers so if you lost a finger you can have a new one but they don't have the technology to clone an arm yet.

You peaked my curiosity. I found this article.

It's one of those situations I would have to think about IF it happened. There are lots of things I think I would do in a hypothetical situation but maybe the reality would be different. it would depend on which method was less painful, which would be more effective, the chance of the human arm being rejected etc.

Like the arm of the dead person functions well? This is strange. I have never heard of it. I would prefer a robotic arm, I think it is way cooler and more significant.

I have donated my organs so that they come to use for someone after I am gone. But when I think of using someone's arms to do stuff, I find it a bit creepy and I feel uncomfortable.

How is it that a person could be okay with a heart or kidney transplant but not an arm or a leg?

Interesting. Maybe it's because without a heart or kidney transplant they would die plus they can't actually be seen because they go inside the body but losing a limb isn't always life threatening and it would be visible.

I get that losing a limb is not life-threatening but if I lost arm I would surely miss it!
I've always found people who had those "hooks" for their hands really scary! But as my big sister explained to me when I was about 7 or 8: "It's supposed to be scary! A person with one hand or arm might be easily attacked. But if a person has a hook for a hand, unless you're stupid, you'll back off!" My sister really had a way of simplifying things for a child to understand.

I will feel like someone is molesting me if another person's arm is touching me while I am taking a shower. Also imagine skinstones not matching.

Let me repeat myself. I'm scared lighting striking me. It's probably a silly fear. I have never heard reports of this ever happening. But I feel like the artificial limbs incorporate some kind of metal and I have a weird feeling I would get struck by lightning.

But also, I feel like I could hold a baby in my arms with a human arm attached. And one more thing, here in America, we have a hospital known as John Hopkins. This hospital has been around for years and they have done incredibly amazing things in the field of medicine. I think I would trust them to perform that kind of an operation.

You don't use your kidney and heart to clean your face and genitals.

I would prefer a HOOK. so I could get rich as a movie star in pirate movies.

Generally speaking, if something breaks and I have to get a replacement, I want it to be better than the previous version eg exhaust rusted away and replaced with sports exhaust, so I guess I would get a robotic arm that is stronger than my real arm. And has 6 fingers. And a cigarette lighter.

My thoughts exactly.

Ahhhhh, but you absolutely do, they clean from the inside.

[cmoneyspinner]

OK. I've given this some thought and I say if the medical science is advanced enough and surgeons can perform the operation successfully and I can get a limb replacement that is human and still functions like it's the limb that I lost, I want the human limb.

I am talking about from the outside with soap and water involved. I will also be sexually turned off forever if I see a dead person's part attached to me outside.At least with cybernetic arms, I will look like a sexy cyborg and not frankenstein's monster.

[nela13]

I would definitely prefer prefer a 3d printed robotic arm, I know I would feel weird with someone else arm besides that the meds involved is in such a high number that it would be a headache for me.

[peachpurple]

I would opt for robotic arm then to accept a dead person's arm

But you would accept a dead person's eyes? Right? They have eye transplants. In fact, in China, they donate as many parts as they can from a person's body. My friend from China told me it's standard procedure. Which made wonder? I did not know China was that advanced in those kinds of medical procedures.

You don't use your eyes to touch food, your face and use it for sensual touching though.
