    We had quite the discussion at work about this very scene (I am loosely related to OSHA stuff), at some point people might think of deliberately having work “accidents” so the employer has to pay for superior replacement parts. And then have an advantage on the job market because of this. Same could go for sports.

    I guess technologically, we are very close, but might need to work on the whole ethics part a bit more?

    Having said that, I would not mind some advanced Kiroshis to replace my screwed up eyeballs.

      Really doubt that. If nothing else it is going to mess with the bedroom. Sorry not sorry I want to feel their arm not a stainless steel.

        This assumption is made based off of current prosthetics. What if future prosthetics are near-nonidentifiable from real ones? Maybe we’re even about to get our real skin to grow over the outside.
