Bionic Man Moves Artificial Arm With Brain

Science follows fiction. It's not exactly the Six Million Dollar Man, but it's getting there:
The world's first bionic man, Jesse Sullivan, 54, accidentally touched live wires while working as a utility lineman in Tennessee. He suffered severe burns, causing him to lose his arms.
[...]
When Sullivan's brain tells his arm to do something, it's done in seconds and he has feeling in the bionic arm.
[...]
By the time it's perfected, the cost of manufacturing the bionic arm is expected to be about $6 million, according to the report.
The hospital's website has several videos about the procedure and the results. Give it a few years and people might feel and look natural.
