A 10-year-old boy from Lancashire, England, received a bionic arm for Christmas, thanks to the NHS.

Harry Jones, who was born missing the lower part of his arm, was fitted for the device on Wednesday, December 13, according to a press release by Open Bionics, a company that manufactures 3D printed bionic arms.

Harry had to go through a month-long trial to prove he could use the ‘Hero Arm,’ and received confirmation on Wednesday that he would be allowed to keep it, becoming one of the first people in the country to get one.

“Compared to the ones that he’s had previously, the Hero Arm is fantastic,” Harry’s grandmother Susan Higham said.

  5. From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah
