Yes, I know, Cynic project, that's why I took the time to say (and emphasize) there were TWO advances necessary for bioware. Quoting myself: "Once you can manage to grow replacement organs *and* have a working genetic engineering capability, bioware should be straightforward. " No emphasis added this time - I had already emphasized that the ability to engineer improvements into the cloned material was necessary to make bioware.
Different levels of performance have little to do with the technical or economic feasibility of a technology. For example, just because a cyberheart can beat faster than a synthicardium does not make the synthicardium technically unfeasible, it just means the synthicardium less popular with people looking for extreme cardiac performance. There are other markets that can make a synthicardium economically feasible, like heart patients looking for self-maintaining, self-healing heart repair. Or with the cloned-vs-"cyber implant" breast augmentations, the fact that water- and silicone-filled implants were here first does not make the "cyber implants" better, safer, or more economically feasible. It just means the cyber implants were around first, nothing more. They're likely to coexist, too - some people will want the rock hard, quick augmentation offered by the "cyber implants" while people looking for more natural augmentation (which doesn't risk popping in heavy exercise or combat) will turn to the bioware breast augmentation.
No, it just changes the heart. Your body may change in response to new activity levels enabled by the new heart but that's something the body will handle naturally, just like it would if you started exercising more. The new heart won't demand any surgical/bioware changes to the body unless (for example) it operates at aneurism levels of blood pressure. |
