It's part of a series Gizmodo ran called "This Cyborg Life," a series which explored enhancements to the human body. The author, Aimee Mullins, was amputated below the knee before she was a year old. Despite a doctor saying she'd never walk, at the age of 19 she set world records in the 100-meter dash and long jump.

I loved her commentary on being "disabled" and how people view athletes who have undergone various "enhancements," and what actually is an "enhancement."

Hopefully you'll enjoy her essay as much as I did. The Aimee wrote two other articles for the series, which I enjoyed as well, that can be found here:
