Used bioware creeps me out much more than used cyberware. Something about a mutant organ from someone elses body just screams horror trid. What does everyone else think?

Used bioware is more or less an organ transplant.

Recall that ordinary Bioware is made from Type O genetic material and, as such, is perfectly happy to work in whatever bod you stick it in.
CUltured Bioware, in contrast, only works for the person whose genetic material it was created from. So, you can always grab a secondhand SYnthcardium, but a used nervous system is right out. |

And now for boware urban legends... I knew a guy who knew a guy who got an adrenaline pump, he was enjoying his Neil the Orc barbarian sim when it kicked in from the excitement, something went wrong and his heart couldn't take it he was found on the floor of his living room dead.

More likely he was assassinated by Runners and it was made to look like an accident. |

I guess you don't believe in AI infested cyberlimbs either.

No, that's actually entirely possible, it's just not very probable, since a cyberlimb would be a very, very poor environment for an AI to set up in. They want something with much more processing power. |

With the way SR5 is now in the "processing power" bit, the only thing an AI is likely able to inhabit is going to be a host. Anything less would be like trying to play World Of Warcraft on a DOS 5.0 home PC.

Having to make friends with an AI so they can move into your commlink to optimize the system was one of the sweetest uses of AIs in SR4. |

Honestly it had amazed me that an AI could be in something so small in SR4. In another sci-fi game setting, which is set several hundred years into the future, an AI can only reside in a mainframe that requires at least a small automobile to make mobile, and even then it's probably taking up two seats.
