    That’s the worst part, we’re rapidly approaching the corporate dystopia of cyberpunk, without any of the crazy drugs or body mods.

    Give me gorilla arms, damnit

      I just want to live forever as a semi-coherent cloud of nanites. Is that really too much to ask?

        Realistically speaking, we really need to start differenciating between restoring human functions (like artificial eye for the blind) and enhancements augmenting abilities normal human limits (that same eye having x-ray and nightvision).

        Restoring functions, at least, should be treated as universal medicine and healthcare and be available for whoever needs it.
