World's first double arm transplant patient

I wonder if he is going to be able to have any dexterity in his hands?

HOLY SHIT ! I am a chronic shoulder dislocation entity and I cant even get a fucking doctor to look at me and go "yup thats jacked up, you need a GO-GO GADGET ARM"

Let give a round of applause for Karl Merk, Go you!

People would question the ethics behind this, but I don't see any 'arm in it.

good luck to the guy

Amazing. Will be even more amazing if his body doesn't reject them, and he regains most motor function with his fingers. I do hope it works out.
An absolutely monstrous ordeal this guy's been through. Most of us will only get an inkling of the suffering he's experienced.

This ... is awesome.

If he jerked off, would it be gay?

what if he has murderous hands? will they try to kill him in his sleep? What if they belonged to an old woman? will he have a strange impulse to crochet? What if they belonged to a ref? Will he be signaling plays an throwing yellow flags without warning? So many questions...so many needing answering....

yea, science is fucking amazing. I wonder how his brain is going to deal with controlling the new hands. It'll definitely be interesting to watch.

Armed with the skills and knowledge, anything is possible. Deserved congratulations all round - give the surgeons a hand ... now give them another one :)

Just think, where have those arms been?

wow, i truely hope his body doesnt reject the donors arms. that is amazing and he can hae his life back. Congrats.

How weird would it be to be his wife, having some strangers hands touching you.
Also, if the skin tone didn't match his body.

wow

That's amazing, though I hope this guy knows what the implications are in terms of anti-rejection meds and eventual rejection (that's unavoidable with the technology we have now). One of the first arm transplant patients actually ended up giving up his transplant in favour of a prosthetic because he wasn't able to adapt psychologically to it, or physically to the drugs.

golf clap!!!

high-five it!!

Wow.....I can imagine wanting to die because of the loss of both arms. Congrats to him and his feeling wholeness. Hopefully the arms continue to be a blessing and work well.

And now for the terrible jokes: Give this man a round of applause!

Wow this is amazing. now we're just a step away from transplanting body parts grown in a lab.

It's SCIENCE!

In all seriousness, this is amazing. Hopefully, his body won't reject the arms too much, and he can get adjusted to having someone else's arms being attached to him.
