Man Chooses to Swap Disabled Hand for Bionic Replacement

[Julianking93]

Can I just cut off my hand to get one of those? >.>

 

[Shifty Tortoise]

Must disable own hand O.O

Need bionic replacement... Neeeeed

 

[Reed Spacer]

Cool. Will there be <a href=http://wavcentral.com/sounds/televis/six_million/smbion.mp3>that weird sound whenever he uses his hand?

 

[Irridium]

This sounds familiar...

 

[Dorian6]

DAMMIT! I wanted to be one of the first people to remove my limbs and get cybernetic replacements!

But seriously, there were people who opposed this? On what grounds would someone be against using a prosthetic hand to replace a dead, useless one? I really hope it wasn't a sort of "god crippled your hand for a reason and to replace it with a machine is unnatural" thing

 

[Odegauger]

Woohoo! Go science! Go technology!
All you luddite motherfuckers can drink a pint of lye, the rest of us are going to take that one more step towards cybernetic godhood.

It just goes to show what science is capable of when we really knuckle down.

I agree. Science sure is handy. I give those doctors the thumbs up! I just wish I had a grasp on how it all works.

Truly we are living in the digital age.

Oh snap, I missed that one! You really nailed me.
*facepalm*
You'll have to give me a helping hand next time.

I have to say I don't find your request opposable

I'm clutching at straws here. I guess I must be losing my touch.
Maybe you could point me in the right direction?

I...erm...hands...

Yeah, that'll do...

Pun relating to hands

But this man will be the first cyborg. He will be a symbol of hope to all cyborgs when the war inevitably begins.

Guys come on now, this is really getting out of hand

Don't knuckle under. They'll be under your thumb if you're willing to wrist it all.

So, when this technology becomes more common, would it become acceptable to want to replace non disabled limbs with cybernetics? Y'know only so I er... people could crush my enemies with my robotic might have a better standard of living and stuff.

I bet it has a special Bow Chica Bow Wow button...

Actually the laser surgery is one of the thing not covered by the public health care (but it is possible to put it has tax refund). And the most basic laser surgery is like what 500 per eye around here.

He's just preparing for the coming events shown in Bionic Commando.

This must be the coolest post in this thread, hands down! You beat me to the punch!

One word: Skynet.

I'd say Icarus is more relevant here.

 

[Merkavar]

next step, full robotic bodies like ghost in the shell

 

[agnosticOCD]

My only question is why would anyone oppose this at all? The patient himself has agreed to do it, it should be his choice, and I'm glad that this seems to be working out. Science is full of awesome goo.

 

[Wintermoot]

I was expeting something along the lines of this:

still looks cool!

 

[Wireframefool]

One word: Skynet.

/thread

No. Not /thread. I'm f-cking sick of this tired bullsh-t coming up every time something even vaguely robotic is mentioned. It's not Skynet, it's an injured man regaining the use of a lost appendage.
No offence.

I'd have to agree with you on that one, it's kinda annoying that as soon as some paralyzed person gets a chance at moving that limb again people start to say one hand or leg is taking over the world.

I've changed my stance on this; references to 1980s pop-culture never get old, and voicing them is invariably witty. Also, the cake is a lie lol.
