"...the conversation with society has changed profoundly in this last decade. It is no longer a conversation about overcoming deficiency. It is a conversation about augmentation. It is a conversation about potential. A prosthetic limb does not represent the need to replace loss, anymore. It can stand as a symbol that the wearer has the power to create what ever it is that they want to create in that space. So people that society once considered to be disabled can now become the architects of their own identities and indeed, continue to change those identities by designing their bodies from a place of empowerment..." - Aimee Mullins
