Oscar Pistorius

grinding has a cool blurb on Oscar Pistorius, the “fastest man on no legs,” who, like Aimee Mullins, is a disabled person with an unfair advantage. That, ladies and gentlemen, is transhumanism. A previously disabled person who is acquires abilities greater than or equal to their original condition due to augmentation or prosthetics. Check Oscar’s wikipedia page, which is quite comprehensive.
