I can’t imagine loosing my hand but now there are some interesting options. You could get a hook for the good old pirate look or get this Robot Hand the can Feel!
Via: Servo Magazine Blog
"A team of scientists from Italy and Sweden has developed what is believed to be the first artificial hand that has feeling. It has been attached to the arm of a 22-year-old man who lost his own hand through cancer. Researchers say it works by connecting human nerve endings with tiny electronic sensors."

That’s pretty crazy. I hope we get more advances in the biomech field before I start losing my limbs, though.
