Another thing to remember is... insane people might be more likely to get
lots and lots of cyberware. A normal person isn't too likely to want
extensive mods, and even runners are probably a little nervous about
trading large slabs of their bodies for metal. To quote "Lone Wolf": what
kind of person _voluntarily_ chops of both his arms for metal? A paranoid
or megalomanic might not even think twice.
