I'm willing to bet that the precursors to a lot of bioware was meant for
this. I can't imagine that Enhanced Articulation wasn't originally designed
to deal with arthritis; the additional benefits came later. A lot of the
enhanced glands probably started life as projects to relieve/cure/combat
glandular disorders, and were later enhanced into the more useful (to
shadowrunners, anyway) items found in SHADOWTECH.
Other enhancements probably started life the same way; I'm willing to bet
that reaction enhancers started life as a means of bypassing spinal damage,
for instance.
