Technology and human body

Today I´ll talk about a news that I read, the news talk about a man called Wladimir Silva, who is 22 years old. He was born with the Poland syndrome, so he doesn´t had some fingers in his right hand and he had muscular problems in the upper right zone of his body  . From EE.UU Jorge Zuñiga, a physiologist, donnate to Teletón five prototypes of a right hand made with a three dimentional printer, and Wladimir was selected to get one of these. These hands cost only 25 dollars each one and now in Teletón are waiting for the results and the functioning, to improvement the possible failures.
This is interesting for me because with new technology, the scientists are helping people, who really needs it. Also if this hand had a good operation, will be a great advance, beacuse it´s very cheap. A lot of other persons could be help by this product, and maybe not only in their hands, the scientist could also create prototypes for another parts of the human body.
I think this is a  really good initiative to improve the peoples disabilities, and in this way they can do all the things that they want, but I think too that is inappropiated probe this new creations in the people, without being sure if it really does work.
