Back in August, Smithsonian Magazine took an in-depth look at prosthetic limbs and artificial organs, with one of its main subjects being a true “Bionic Man.” A team of scientists and researchers at the University of Zurich were able to recreate more than 50 percent of the human body using the “most sophisticated” prosthetics and artificial organs (like a full circulatory system) available, and now the Bionic Man is going to show itself to the world at large. A new documentary entitled The Incredible Bionic Man will air on the Smithsonian Channel this Sunday at 9:00PM ET, and those located in the Washington, DC area will get a chance to “meet” the creation for themselves.
