It seems like a simple enough question.
But it's not easily answered.

What would your parents think, your friends?
Why should you care?

But the simple question is: If you could get cybernetic implants, would you?

I myself would, to piss off my parents and be able to unleash ANCIENT EGYPTIAN LASER BEAMS!!!
 
     
 
I think it would depend on my circumstances at the time. If i'd lost a particular body part I might be open to getting a cybernetic one.
However, everytime I think cybernetics, I think about the Borg, and that's not a road I'd like to walk down.

Hell with my crippled left should I would love cybernetics for it, I think of it like Ghost in the Shell just a mechanical arm, and nothing more to it. Though having a cyberbrain would be wicked sweet, would be able to roam the Internet during my ancient life class. As to what anyone would think? Why should it matter? It's my body, plus my left arm is pretty pathetic, I would love to get it replaced with a cybernetic arm.

Why would I want them?

I mean, here in M&R we have kind of a schizophrenia on the subject. We either have 'My faith tells me homos r bad' or we have Eteponge.
Does this hypothetical cybernetic implant do something useful, or is it just for the sake of having cybernetic parts?

Either way I don't see your issue.

maybe if i was missing a body part
but no heart
i would like to say as humanly as possible
because i want to feel real



     
If I lost a limb or if it were reduced to a marginal percentage of its original function, why not? After all, all of us are sure that we would have four limbs and a head, right? However, if I were offered cybernetics to "improve" the human "livestock," then I would protest against it. In short, it would depend.

HELLZ NO! Imagine your brain implant has a malfunction and all of a sudden it causes your heart to explode. Imagine it's a muscle implant to replace a muscle in your arm or something (which you could've learned to live with), it malfunctions then you can't move your arm. Let's say you get a brain implant, but unbeknownst to you, the government can(illegally) use said implant to control how you think, or how you act, or maybe to shut off certain body parts if you become a suspect in a case, or maybe turn you into an overly patriotic war machine.

Implants don't sound so fun now do they?
     

I'm naturally blind on my left eye. I always thought that if i ever get a glass eye i want a red LED in it to scare the hell out of people when it starts glowing in the dark.

Aside from that - only to circumvent handicaps or lost limbs.

Absence makes thy heart grow fonder.
For me to be held in your arms was a dream come true...


Only if it was needed, i don't think i would get those kinds of... body parts just to 'upgrade' myself.



But my dream ended when i had to say farewell.

Only if I had an amputated limb or something.

Well maybe for enhancements like for example if it was possible to completely convert to android and still feel emotions and still have the same personality and my memories then yea consider me android lol. Because all it'd take is updates and replacement parts and you could live FOREVER, Bam science would have granted us immortality.
