No longer just the stuff of fantasy, scientists are making amazing breakthroughs when it comes to bionics. We've already read about the bionic eye, and now it seems that we have the bionic leg. [Watch the video.]

Very impressive, yes, but who has the six million dollars to pay for it?

Eye... leg.
Interesting how they're picking the exact bionic replacements in the six million dollar man. Next up? Arm. Though how one can lift heavy objects with a bionic arm placed on an unreinforced shoulder and back is nitpicky and I'll just shut up now.
