what body parts do you want to keep or replace??

I would pretty much like to stay exactly as i am.When Aimee Mullins was speaking on TED she had the legs that people had given her, one pair of legs was hand carved wood and it looked like wooden boots. Others had designs on them, its almost as if they are becoming real fashionable. She said she could change her height depending how tall the pair of legs you are wearing. One day you can be 5ft.7in. and the next day 6ft.1in. Although if they made something that allows you to hold your breath underwater or be able to breath underwater or grow bigger lungs for me as a swimmer that would be awesome but if not everyone had it then it wouldn't be fair.

Oscar Pistorius, a double-amputee sprinter, has been denied a shot at the Olympics... for being too fast. The runner -- who uses carbon-fiber, prosthetic feet -- was reviewed by the International Association of Athletics Federations a review which found the combination of man and machine to be too much for its purely human competitors. According to the IAAF report, the "mechanical advantage of the blade in relation to the healthy ankle joint of an able bodied athlete is higher than 30-percent." Additionally, Pistorius uses 25-percent less energy than average runners due to the artificial limbs, therefore giving him an unfair advantage on the track. Maybe to make it fair there should be prosthetic legs for all.

The Special Olympics are events that take place every year (I think), and they are mainly targeted to people with mental disabilities.The Para-Olympics are held every four years right after the official Olympics. The para-Olympics are for athletes who have some sort of physical impairment (and sometimes mental). They are considered at par with the normal Olympics.That said, my take on the Pistorious situation is the following: aside from whether or not the artificial limbs give him and advantage or not, the spirit of sports should be to put in competition with each other people who have the same skills and conditions. For this reason, I don't think pistorious should be allowed to take part, even if the libs were not an advantage. He should take part in the para-Olympics against other amputees who are in his same condition. The normal Olympics its based on your ability and strengthas a person.

Most people don't have a choice whether or not to get prosthetic legs but it wouldn't be right to call them nonhuman just because they don't have the exact feature as one. They still have feelings and thoughts.
