In my opinion, prosthetics can give an unfair advantage to the athletes that have them. They dont get tired like real body parts do. They should have their own version like the special olympics

If Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers taught me nothing else, it's that bionics should be used to stop evil spies and NOT in sporting competitions.

Well if a runner/long jumper has a prosthetic arm I don't see the problem.

Not sure about a swimmer with prosthetic gills though.

You actually thought the special olympics only allowed people with mental disabilities didn't you. Dumbass.

This... although it could be fun to see someone use their implanted laser-eyes to vaporize an opponant's javelin, mid-flight.

I think you need to educate yourself on what exactly the special Olympics (Paralympics) are.
