Wow, it's very 'Cyberdyne'

Good on them

I love all this stuff, I posted up an article a few months back about a young lad in a similar situation who'd managed to get a bionic hand much similar to this.

"Meeting Matthew, and hearing first hand how the new device would improve his quality of life, was a pleasure and I am delighted that our initial contact has now led to such a positive conclusion."

Just couldn't help himself could he....

Nice story though and good on him for having the courage to ask!

You can just see Brawn's face cracking into that wry smile when he said that.

Next project - replace Bernie Ecclestone's head.

Is it ethical to graft a canteloupe in place of a man's head?

That's cool. Nice to see someone doing something nice for someone else, even if it is for some good PR.

A win/win really, how many times have Mercedes been mentioned in a positive light in the newspapers today for £30k?

Brawn was then quoted to go on to say that "There was no way that the family could cover the costs single handed, as these things cost an arm and a leg!"
