Poll: Would you let yourself become augmented?

[Muspelheim]

I've already got glasses, don't I? I wouldn't mind a few adjustments and buffs, really. I wouldn't be too keen on actually buying them, though.

 

[plugav]

I'd go for medical implants, I even have one already. But replacing healthy body parts with a piece of corporate hardware just seems reckless.

 

[chemicalfire]

I was injured back in 2007 (left arm, below elbow)and my options were: Experimental surgery with a 40% chance of success, do nothing, and replace the damaged limb with a prosthetic. I would have gone with the prosthetic if it were one of those bad-ass cyber arms. Alas, I did nothing and decided to bide my time till technology catches up with my desires.
If Deus Ex: HR tech. was current, I would totally have given up my arm.

 

[Headsprouter]

Oh, my god, dude that'd be SOOO DAMN COOOOL!!!

But only for self-defence purposes, I don't really want an unfair advantage, either, outside of metal death-hooks that sprout out of my arms to scare off attackers and metal bug-wings to make a quick getaway, and, for transportation!

 

[uchytjes]

It honestly depends on the extent of it. Whole sections of my body? I'd prefer not, but if it necessary to live I'm okay with it. A hand/arm? Sure, as long as it is equivalent to normal limbs.

 

[Auron225]

If I lost a limb or something then I'd be all up for getting a mechanical replacement =) But I wouldn't replace a real part of me that works for something else. It just seems unnecessary.

 

[unindexedsearchengine]

I'd willingly replace a perfectly functioning body part with an augment is given the chance. The human body is painfully inefficient, and evolution just takes too bloody long.

 

[Knight Captain Kerr]

Let myself? I'd want to do it. As others mentioned I would wait until the kinks were sorted out. But sign me up.

 

[Beffudled Sheep_v1legacy]

Yes I would. I'd replace most of my internal organs (cept for mah brain and intestines) and probably limbs as well. Get some eye improvements maybe as well.
But my paranoia and pride in its development will keep me from getting anything done to my brain except in the most dire of circumstances (Alzheimer's, etc.).
I('d deal with any kind of societal shunning but if I have to take immune suppressing drugs or some other kind of highly expensive life long treatment to keep my body from rejecting my new parts I'd definitely have second thoughts.

And seeing as this is real life and that would be the case... Still yes actually.

 

[conmag9]

Mostly, yes. As long as there aren't side effects I don't want, anyway.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

I'd do it without even a first thought.

LET myself? I'd be cutting in front of the people who actually needed it just to get my hands on some augments first.

In fact, I'd go full Cyberman, brian-in-suit-of-armor if I could. I'm all about trans-humanism.

 

[nekoali]

Would I let it happen? Hell, where do I sign up? I've been looking for this for so many years now...

 

[Discon]

It really depends on what side effects there are, and if there'd be any social stigma. If there's none of these, I'd definitely do it.

 

[x EvilErmine x]

I hate to be that guy...How do you define augmented?

If you mean a la Deus Ex style then only as a last resort, like to save my life after my body has been damaged beyond repair.

If you mean something like Neural Nanonics [http://nightsdawn.wikia.com/wiki/Neural_nanonics] then hell yes! sign me up for some of that action right now!

 

[Jenvas1306]

If it was ala 'ghost in the shell', sure. memory enhancements, built in night and heat vision and naturally no need for glasses. If I break my arm I just get a replacement and can switch off the pain in the meantime. Only my brain will grow old, but my body only needs some maintanance and will never fail on my like the orgininal will some day.
male, female or inbetween, black or white or what ever else you like doesnt matter anymore. Beauty would only be a matter of personal taste, not of genetics or lifestyle.
So I am very pro transhumanism.

 

[Drops a Sweet Katana]

Would I lop off an arm or leg? Nope. I like those. If I was in a fight and left broken? Nope, however I would settle for one of these:

Yeah...

Actually instead of replacing limbs, I would just get hardpoints installed that I could attach other shit to. Flexibility, functionality, and best of all I get to keep my good old squishy arms.

 

[Shadow-Phoenix]

I most likely would because the majority of the human body is weak to begin with and me having to wear glasses doesn't help me much at all so I'd rather have augmented eyes,augmented lungs for increased breathing rates and probably the stomach and other systems so I don't really feel the need to eat.

 

[Connor Lonske]

i mean, who wouldn't want to have 100 percent perfect memory, i know i would want 100 percent perfect memory.

I definitely wouldn't want 100% perfect memory. As it is, there are things I wish I could unsee.

that's why i can just plug my head into the wall and delete the memory. good as new!

 

[ACuddlyRat]

As long as i know how to fix the augmentation, hell ya! 40K Space Marine here I come!
