A touching story

Gave me goosebumps reading this and made me feel all warm inside. Nice to read such stories once in a while to know that there is a good side to the human race.

Very nice to hear, but:

The company said they were unable to pay for the hand but agreed to help Matthew raise the money, by asking fans and sponsors to make donations.

And the Mercedes logo is still going on it?

To be honest, this bit is the best:

Touch Bionics also agreed to fit the hand and train Matthew at their state of the art facilities for free, which would have otherwise cost £25,000.

That is actually amazing.

Better demonstration of similar hand.

Very nice to hear, but:

According to the BBC report, they did some tech sharing with the company to bring the price down to £10k.
