The cost section of this article seems extremely sparse. Is there a way we can add in a general cost (or even a range of costs for different types of prosthetics) to further elaborate on this?

[edit] A couple questions

I just finished writing this article (it's my first one), but wanted to point out a couple things that could potentially be done to enhance the article. First, I wasn't sure if my sources needed to be placed in the article. For example, I paraphrased the history of prothestics from two websites and put a link to the websites at the end of the history section. Do I need those links there or are the links in the reference section enough? Second, one idea I have for an expansion of this article is to discuss the ehtical issues of some of the new advancements. Will prosthetics eventually be better then a real arm? That sort of thing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nfk17 (talk • contribs) 05:35, 15 February 2007 (UTC).
