This week we go into a topic of pop culture and prosthetics. Looking at devices used in the anime show Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. I discuss the prosthetic shown in the show and go over what makes it unique or far fetched. Additionally I briefly touch on the reasoning used to allow a prosthetic user to run in the summer Olympics in 2012.
