If commercial cyberware became available, what organ/limb would you be willing to replace by a synthetic counterpart first?

hypolite (hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com)'s status on Monday, 08-Jan-2024 18:36:48 CET hypolite @heluecht Knee replacement is already available so it doesn't feel in the scope of the question. And what more do you need to do with your hands that you can't do right now? -
Michael Vogel (heluecht@pirati.ca)'s status on Monday, 08-Jan-2024 18:36:48 CET Michael Vogel @hypolite A painless use of my hands would be nice. I always have to be careful with task like for example screwing a screw or opening a jar. I had two surgeries at hands because of a Carpal tunnel syndrome. After that I haven't got constant pain anymore, but still I have to be careful with some specific tasks. -
hypolite (hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com)'s status on Monday, 08-Jan-2024 18:53:18 CET hypolite @heluecht I figured it would be something in this vein, I'm sorry about that. -
Michael Vogel (heluecht@pirati.ca)'s status on Monday, 08-Jan-2024 18:53:18 CET Michael Vogel @hypolite I'm living with this now for many, many years. My knees are hurting for more than 30 years and my hand issues started around 20 years ago. So it's not, that I'm getting old, it's just that I had been built with very crappy parts 😁 -
hypolite (hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com)'s status on Monday, 08-Jan-2024 19:40:22 CET hypolite @silverwizard I mean, I should have known that my audience is mainly corpo-sceptical luddites in poor health, I'm not sure why I'm surprised nobody's excited about IRL cyberware. -
Michael Vogel (heluecht@pirati.ca)'s status on Monday, 08-Jan-2024 19:40:22 CET Michael Vogel @hypolite @silverwizard Well, if possible, then of course a full body replacement like in "Ghost in the shell" would be interesting. -
silverwizard (silverwizard@convenient.email)'s status on Monday, 08-Jan-2024 19:40:23 CET silverwizard @hypolite so my obvious answer is "damaged ones" but you don't like that do you
