How on earth could it possibly be a good thing? It means cancer rates are going up, disease rates are going up....it dosen't end. Unless you are a moneythirsty doctor who does amputations, it's not a good thing at all.

It's terrible that so many of our young men are coming back from Iraq with amputations. One good thing to come from it though is that prosthetic research has leapt forward. I work in medical equipment and in the past ten years it's like we went from peglegs to cybernetics! I have a client that had a wooden leg two years ago and a stump for the other. Now he has bending knees, titanium legs, and can walk almost as good as me!

A "good thing?" How could it possibly be a good thing? No. It's not. But thankfully, prosthetics are getting better all the time. There are a lot of men and women coming home from the Middle East with missing limbs.

the reason for more amputees is the increase of diabetes in this country. the obesity situation in America and other countries is causing a drastic rise in diabetes. Diabetes affects the lower limbs and can cause people to have to have amputation.

What makes you think that something like this would be a good thing?
I think it's neither good nor bad - it's just a fact.

Are you a prosthetic leg? Do you sell prosthetic legs wholesale?
Or maybe I should be asking questions regarding your mental state instead.
