Aimee Mullins gives a Ted talk about the 12 pairs of creatively crafted prosthetic legs she had custom made to replace the lower legs she lost when she became a double amputee at age 1. Aimee tells how she has fun with her leg collection, how they enhance her humanity …. and what it was like to compete as a disabled track star first at the collegiate level and later as an Olympic athlete.
She also tells an amazing story in the first clip at about the 7 minute mark when a lady Aimee’s friendly with – who is not disabled – complains with great sincerity at a party about how jealous she is of Aimee’s amazing legs.
