All your nerves run to your brain. They follow paths there, sure, but even
for a cyber hand to work, it would have to connect very close to, if not
right in your spinal column, and still be connected to the brain. Enhanced
articulation would be a tougher call, a lot of ppl could benefit from it for
arthritis- like you say. I think it's more the idea of having metallic bits
that gets me, versus the adding/taking away of organic/meat bits. It's just
my opinion, though, I can't see myself acting different to someone who had
work done like that, other than to ask them if it was helping them.
