This NPR award-winning episode dives into the boundaries of the human body and explores how, with exciting scientific developments, those boundaries may be on the brink of disappearing. 

I share the stories of two amputees who have had to overcome those limits but struggle with the conflicted reality of their experience, particularly given the 200-year-old approach to amputation and the shortcomings of current prosthetic technology. I then highlight the bionic revolution that is happening now and discuss the exciting Ewing technology that allows an amputee to have neurological control of a new functional limb. 

What does this technology make possible? And what does it mean if we can create a bionic man who can surpass all physical hurdles? This podcast examines the experience of the human body and what it will mean in the future.

An Amputee’s Experience, features an amputee: Mark Rosen, a harvard graduate and director of financial services in New York, who tragically lost his limb in his teenage years due to health complications. 

In this episode you will hear his story, the difficulties he faced, specifically as an athlete discovering he is going to lose his leg, his perspective on the technological advancement of the field, and lastly his experience with the phenomenon of phantom limb. 

The Amputees experience - Part II, features an amputee; Caroline Dunn, a college student in Dublin, Ireland who was born without a leg. 

In this episode, you will hear about the experience of an amputee in school, social, and college settings, the ways having a prosthetic her entire life created conflict within her about what is “normal,” and finally, her own perspective on the developing field.
