Behold the beBionic v3m, the most advanced prosthetic appendage, like, ever.
Electrical impulses in the nerves are read and translated into one of 14 different grips (not including kung-fu), and range from "power grips" for carrying items or handshakes, to "finesse grips" for delicate motions like holding a credit card or fork. The BB3 is carbon fiber and weighs less than 1.5 lbs - but can heft almost 100 lbs. It will cost you close to $35,000 to get one, but if you're already missing a limb, that's money you weren't spending on manicures and gloves.
