Back on the idea of children with 'ware, the idea of an adult man with a toddler-sized cyberarm is uncontrollably funny, to me. He's half T-Rex!


Alternately a 12 year old from a poor family with man-size hand me down cyber-arms.

I can imagine a special kind of cyberware designed specially to grow with the user with minimal maintinence being available for an extra fee. Say, costing as alphaware, with no reduction in Essence cost and no opportunity to make it a higher grade (because there'd be less demand for it)

:) Another on going topic of daytime talk shows.
Somewhat simular to the old debaites about Plastic surgery.

Surely few will argue about necessary bioware or cyberware to compensate for birth defects, but what is exactly necessary to help our children funtion normally in our modern society, and what is not is hotly debaited. Next on Maury III.

...This was why Leela's cyber was pretty much all headware and the physical mods were cultured bio. Since Bio (particularly cultured) becomes an integral part of the body, it would grow as the character physically matured.
