Fake Arm 101

“Save your tears for Tiny Tim. A boom in sophisticated prostheses has created a most unlikely by-product: envy.”

So says this article on the latest in prosthetic technology.

Disability bloggers are all over the story of Abercrombie & Fitch’s treatment of an employee with a congenital limb deficiency.  (Via The Daily Mail).

Disabled Politico asks: What do you think? Is Abercrombie and Fitch going overboard with company policies that force a young woman with a prosthetic arm to be hidden away from customers? Or is the company merely exercising its right to present its brand in the manner that it sees fit: Clothing worn by young, attractive, able-bodied, and mostly Caucasian men and women?

What do you think?
