Nanotechnology, transhumanism and the bionic man - NanoWerk, USA
Oscar Pistorius is a double leg amputee who is using specially developed artificial legs to compete in races.

This episode drives home the monumental issues our society will be facing in the not too distant future thanks to our increasing technological ability to enhance the human body.
