Re: If your arm got amputed from an accident would you prefer a robotic arm or a donated arm?

Yet but ... ??? ... so you think the human limb transplants would eliminate the sense of touch?? I mean ... does the artificial or robotic limb have the sense of touch? Is that what you're saying? :?

OK. Let me rephrase. If the human limb that is transplanted is the same as if I had the limb that I lost which includes being able to move freely, have the sense of touch, etc. ... I would want the human limb.

I think that the most preferred option is going to be a donated and but then we all know that this option is very rare.

Gosh, I can't just imagine seeing myself in such a condition that I have to make a choice as to what I want in terms of losing an arm.
Though I will prefer a robotic arm to donor's arm.

Gosh. I had an accident years ago and I almost lost my arm. I still have that steel brace inside. I remember telling the doctor not to cut my arm. I was actually trying to scare the doctor :lol: Great to see we have the robotic option. I'd go for the robotic arm than the donated arm. I find it creepy to use that arm and I doubt if I can have 100% control over it.

I would go for a donated arm. Makes me feel more natural rather than so mechanical with a robotic arm.

I don't like anything that is programmed as part of my body. Donated arm for me.

A robotic arm would give me greater flexibility and independence in my daily life.

When I was a kid I saw a man who had a HOOK for a hand. I asked my big sister about it.

She said: “It's the least the doctor could do for the man so he would be able to defend himself. Would you attack somebody who had a hook for a hand?”

A rather selfish viewpoint if you ask me. As in, how would the person from where the donated arm comes from keep living?
Its a case of solving a problem by creating another one.

I get your point though, but there would definitely be a reason why someone would donate a hand, which is why this option is pretty rare.

Donors are dead people. if you register as organ donor and you died at accident, Your organ that is currently in need will be donated.

This clarification is helpful.
In that case, I would not mind having a limb from a dead donor affixed to my physique.
A proper way of repurposing items if you ask me.

A robotic arm, for sure. They've been getting better and better at making them. You don't have the same risk of rejection either, because they're not attached surgically, so if it didn't work out you could easily remove it.

A robotic arm would do me good. Though I prefer to have my own hands. But in case, the robotic can do more than a human one can do. So I think that will be better choice and a great option.
