Double Amputee Mermaid!

I just happened upon this video of a Double Amputee who's dream was to be a mermaid. She contacted a special effects studio and worked with them to design a dual prosthetic limb which looks and feels like fish scales. It enables her to swim and uses a internal hinge to pivot the limb up and down opposite of her movements. Very cool project!
