I already showed this a few weeks back, but I think it's pertinent to the subject:
And I think Nate showed me a video of a little girl, iirc.
This is a good, or even optimal, resource for people who had accidents, who were born with disabled regions/parts of the body or even who were born without arms and/or legs. This is when humanity excels, using engineering and medicine to produce something so extraordinary that could change a life, or two, or one hundred, or one billion. I actually believed in that at some point. Call me naive, but I always thought we should help someone who is in a worst situation than us. The problem our society have is that money corrupts, even the most "angelic soul". For some reason or another, anyone can be corrupted, be it the person itself or because of those who are around her. And when this happens, something so simple as aiding other people, can turn 180ยบ and be something completely different. There's no ethics today. People think they have some ethical code that society runs by, but that's total bullshit, as we see governments doing whatever they want, when they want. There's no specific philosophies, apart from the one the world runs by, "work and you'll get paid". That's the only the philosophy I see today. That's the only one people really believe, as its the one that people can see working, for the most part. Even when they work so hard they could get family problems, sick or even dead, just to put some food on their tables. The only wrong direction I can see with Cybernetic Organisms/Implants/Enhancements/etc, is when people try to make money from it that goes from people in need to big corporations, when they try to implement a network inside your body so they can monitor you, your feelings, your thoughts and eventually suppress them. You can say this looks like a Sci-Fi book or imagination, but reality has we perceive, is becoming closer and closer to the old Sci-Fi books/movies/plays faster than any of us think.
TL;DR
I believe in these options, as far as people can get happy with their improvements in life and not simply becoming slaves of corporativism.
Meh...
