THE MAKERS OF THE DEUS EX: MANKIND DIVIDED VIDEO GAME HOST A BIOETHICS CONFERENCE
Human X Design Conference, August 3, 2016.
The high points of Human by Design came when Steven Sanchez, who suffered a spinal cord injury, and Cathrine Disney, who was born with a congenital amputation, spoke about how their prosthetics changed their daily lives. Disney described her experience with prosthetic arms as a child. “They're not only offensively ugly in their attempts to mimic human hands, they’re heavy, clunky, and ultimately useless,” she said.
Sanchez and Disney eloquently described how mechanized prosthetics changed theirs. Disney designed herself a new robotic arm with Open Bionicsand Deus Ex. “Instead of being the elephant in the room, all eyes are on us for the right reasons,” she said, describing how the new arm affected her self-esteem.
