With the implantation of artificial limbs, the disabled will be able to walk. Persons with disabilities can write, eat with a spoon, ride a bike, car or bicycle, lift things, etc. There is no need for any kind of operation to put the hands and feet. These hands are like a wrist watch , they can be put or opened at any time.
