Wonder if the animal rights activists would protest this experiment? Seems that use of test animals would be transitional to actual testing in humans thus a crucial step in advancement of prosthetics.

 

Protesting all experimental use of animals is absurd, but I do see their point when they protest use of animals in cosmetics safety testing. Our vanity shouldn't be the cause of their suffering.
