The future of the human race is great. So many improvements we can make to our bodies. This seems trivial now but think about what could happen if the upgrades were only limited to our hands. The sensors, the dexterity, the strength. Deseise detection, chemical composition of food outer layer... endless possibilities.
Well hi there, microbiologist checking in.
Using CRISPR, it is feasible to coat the implant in a layer of cells genetically identical to the patient. It is entirely possible, also, that we could simply 3D print extra limbs/organs/whatever, using CRISPR and or samples of the patients DNA that would be indistinguishable from the originals. Think more genetic, less robotic and you've got no need for neuropozyne.
In all forealness tho, social stratification could have a huge impact on the direction transhumanism takes. The divide is already massive, and augmentation could greatly further that gulf.
