This came from a Cyberpunk thread elsewhere, but what are some uses for cyberware and bioware for regular people?
Some are obvious, like cyberlimbs for amputees. (although growing a replacement arm makes this a little dubious) Enhanced Articulation as a treatment for arthritis. Bone Density or Bone Lacing for osteoporosis. Muscle Enhancement/Replacement for degenerative muscular diseases. Synthacardium for people with any sort of disease that weakens the heart. Other ideas? |
