Cybernetics

[rebelEnigma]

You could imagine what would happen if the government got their hands on it..

Don't even get me started! The first thing they would do is start restricting, monitoring, and banning things.

If the technology happened i would probley not get it (im not saying its wrong). But if i got in an accident or got a disease i would probley want some of those things implanted in my body.

I would enhance myself cybernetically to the fullest extent possible. I have no ethical qualms about the fusion of man and machine. I'd be interested in any ethical objections people would have to cybernetics.

Not directly related, but:
Understand.

Give me some of that mental augmentation.

 

[Deadbolt]

I would get all of those and more, but only if the systems were completely autonomous and could only be controlled by signals originating directly from my brain. With such a body, I rather think I'd be be more than capable of taking care of myself, thus, I see no need at all for the government or anyone else to be able to access them for any reason.

So everyone will look like Kano from Mortal Kombat a few hundred years from now.. great

Once the technology becomes widely avalible, you'll probably see a divide in society between people who are augmented and people who arent and feel that augmentation is wrong.

...And how about the people who think not augmenting is wrong and that only by making yourself one with the machine can you become close to the Omnissiah, Deus Mechanicus, The Machine God...

 

[igotbegot]

I would get them all.

I think thats a more of a minority

Well how about when all computer manufacturers, tech support, public works, mass transit..or really anything that has to do with anything working has been overtaken by this...Cult Mechanicus?
Hee hee hee....

Some sort of bionic lungs so I don't have to quit smoking would be awesome.

 

[Robbie_James_Francis]

Are you saying that I can continue to lie around eating junk food, drink my weekly amount of alcohol daily, smoke like a chimney and generally have no respect for my body whatsoever...and still be healthy?

Sign me up.

Healthy? You'll be able to leap buildings in a single bound, without spilling your drink.

No way would I get all that stuff. With my luck, it'd probably get hacked.

thats why you make sure the systems are entirely autonomous and accessible only through direct signals from your brain.

 

[Belk]

Are you kidding? A chance to walk normaly again? I would jump at the chance (Pun intended).

 

[craigerNY]

I think this came up in a thread a couple of months ago. Turns out I am not allowed to say here what I'd enhance..........

 

[Foolish_Fool]

I'd want it all. Bionic monkey tail with kung fu death grip action. Eyes capable of zoom, thermal, night vision, and instant replay. Last, but not least, the multi speed hydrolic powered penis. It could punch a hole in the wall then make sweet, sweet love to it.
