I find alternative approaches to prosthetics fascinating. With enough crativity, prostethics dont need to be replacements for standard limbs. How long do you think it will be before prosthetics exceed regular limbs?

No reason to just copy our old anatomy if you can come up with something better. For example, humans don't have nearly enough thumbs. Not only do we obviously need thumbs on our feet but we should also get a 2nd thumb on the opposite side of our hands.
But that's because the thumbs would be extremely useful. So what exactly is the advantage of a tentacle? The only way to grab something would be to constrict around it
My understanding is that the tentacles advantage is ease of manufacturing and very low cost. I thought it was an interesting discussion point.
