We’ve got the crazy drugs and body mods coming, don’t you worry. Haven’t you seen the videos of people who make designer prosthetics and robotic hands for themselves?
Soon somebody’s gonna put roller skates in their feet and then it’s all over. That’s how you’ll know it’s the singularity.
Realistically speaking, we really need to start differenciating between restoring human functions (like artificial eye for the blind) and enhancements augmenting abilities normal human limits (that same eye having x-ray and nightvision).
Restoring functions, at least, should be treated as universal medicine and healthcare and be available for whoever needs it.
Hope you don’t mind being billed for the whole surgery, including amputation of limbs you never asked for in the first place. Shiny stuff with soul crushing debt - sounds like American colleges.
When Weyland corp announce a merger with Yutani industries it’s time to worry.

That requires defining normal function which is mega dangerous. Especially as we move away from default humanity.

I never asked for this. Wrong game, I know :)
Mankind Divided had a very abrupt cliffhanger. Adam needs a proper closure to his story.
