How much change can a person absorb before everything loses meaning Living for its own sake isn't life. People need meaning as much as they need air.

The goal for many amputees is no longer to reach a 'natural' level of ability but to exceed it, using whatever cutting-edge technology is available. As this new generation sees it, our tools are evolving faster than the human body, so why obey the limits of mere nature?
