Would you get a bionic prosthetic body?
| I'd do it but only if I need it and only if I can trust the source for not having control. Still you can't really prevent all hacking I guess
| If /cyb/ has taught me anything, it's the possibility of having all those risk being a real thing.
I'll stick to my organic body parts, thank you.
| lain is ugly
| If they get me the same 5 senses a normal organic body does and without any loss, sure I want to be tur ed into a reploid
| If it works like a normal arm and more, I'm down provided it's from a Sarif Industries type corporation. I'll also try working for such a company too just to avoid unnecessary mishaps.
Boy does that sound scary.
| I would only trust it if it was provided by government instead of some kind of shady corporation
| Section 9 baby

>Implying the government wouldn't repossess (or shut down) your body if you got on their bad side

But like imagine if they became tyrannical, you speak out and they shut you off. As much as I'd like to become a cyborg, that's a really scary thought.
| The best part would be illegally modding my own body... Them ppssibilities....
| >>112808 because every legal mod will be full of trackers, which illegal mods can be used to remove those and increase pivacy and I doubt they will allow rocket punch guns legally....

Every citizen is entitled to privacy. They control you with the information you willing/unknowingly give.
| Provided the OS and microcode that ran it was open, yes in a heartbeat.
If you have to license bits of your own body, no way.
| I'd put my brain in a robo-girl body!
| Only when it became self-regeneration, I don't want die cause of lack of maintenance
| Gonna keep my 6 essence, thanks.
| Imagine smaller, less visible hearing aids. If they advanced average people's hearing too, that would be awesome. I would totally get some if they were real.
| If you mean full body, probably not. Though, I'd totally replace limbs
| As someone born with spinal stenosis, hell yeah I'd get upgrades.
| Nobody has mentioned the crucial elements. Cost, maintenance time, and energy source to power the machinery. Of these power is the most core elements. Think of what the biological body needs to function in 24h, what you require to power yourself and maintain it. Food is that thing and metabolism is what maintains the bio machinery. Now think of what powers a piece of technology and all the chain industry that comes with it, and the efforts to maintain and keep it operational.
| If you can, do some calculations on the energy needed to power and run a mass of around 70kg of mechanic-electronic construct. The same ammounts we utilise every day by processing food in our bodies. Only then you will understand that nothing beats the efficiency of biological processes in energy conversion and tissue maintenance.
| I would go for bio-machine hybrid organism body
| I certainly would do it, I have a deep fascination as to what would happen to someone who underwent such changes in body and possibly mind

| Or would you be afraid of the risks like hacking, repossession, and government silencing and control?
I wanna say we're getting there with the technology to make it a reality.
