I'd probably actually ask for it rather than one of those metal hook things..... If I lost my hands, it appears that this type of claw would be a viable and very practical alternative.

Because they'll never fix his hands in that State. So if this guy needed breast implants in California would he be able to get medical attention? Because they’ll never fix his hands in that State.

Only the individual can answer that question, but as true "bionic" limbs and hands are slowly becoming a reality... a stump into which can be plugged a strong and fully controllable very real looking hand, while expensive, now, is a very viable option in the very near future.

After being released from the hospital she tried to get on a bus. But she fell as she could not grasp the bar on the door and was run over by another bus and died. May be function is important. May be the perspective of these unfortunate individuals is different than ours. This question can only be answered by someone in that position.
