inb4 the government plants microchips in the limbs to control people.

Yeah. I would donate my arm and get a robot arm. No regrets.

I WOULD. THE REAL DEBATE FOR ME WOULD BE WHETHER TO DONATE BOTH (AND SATISFY MY LOVE OF SYMMETRY) OR KEEP ONE FOR THE SAKE OF COMPARING/CONTRASTING MY EXPERIENCES.

I'm not even sure how that would work. I mean they could track you I guess and maybe make you slap your self for shits and giggles

What are the odds of the new limb being rejected?

You mean as in an auto-immune response? This would not be the case as the prosthetics are inherently artificial (robotic). On the contrary, I do recall reading an article of how the immune systems of test animals even adapted to their newfound prosthetics over significant periods of time. I'd like to procure the source, but Google is of little avail at the moment.

MR.RAGE I love you!

I wanna have your babies!

Probably would, my family doesn't have a good history when it comes to joints.

Define better. "Stronger, faster, feels like someone else is doing it?" How about "doesn't smell like ass where my stump fits into the cup and gets infected," or "doesn't ache every time it's going to rain?" You should try it some time.

I would go full cyborg if i had the option.

>get robotic genitals

I'm not seeing the point...

>>2594941
Same here. I know OP said arm, but I would love a robot knee.

if they are equal or even better... why not?

Hell yes!

It would depend on the capabilities of the arm. If it's just an arm, then no, what's the point?

But if it can punch through walls, have a hidden gun, and interface with a computer, then you're goddamn right I would.

I would wait until the third-generation models, though, I wouldn't want to be one of the poor shlubs whacking off witha robot arm when one of the software glitches causes it to grab too hard on your dick and rip it off.

ever seen repo men?
or surrogates?

It would be more enticing if nanotechnology would be at a level where we could mimic the sensation of touch. If not, I would certainly like bionic legs. I'm 23 and between mixed martial arts and gymnastics both knees have torn something.

There's a simple solution for your fears of ripping your dick off: use the other arm.

No thanks OP. I don't want to become obsolete when nano tech is released to the public.

I wish to replace everything but my brain once technology progresses to the point that artificial limbs are way better than human ones.

That game is retarded, a robot arm with nanotechnology would be better than a natural arm aided by nanomachines.

who is that guy by ray

This. Imagine not having to sleep, eat, or excrete. You wouldn't need to breathe underwater or in the vacuum of space. Fatigue would be a thing of the past. You could run faster than the greatest sprinters and lift more than the strongest man in the world.

No idea

Robot organs ftw

but you would still be as stupid as you are now.

Having prosthetics that are advanced to the point of equating or surpassing organic limbs in terms of functionality would imply that they use a more advanced system of making use of neural signals. Cerebral implants might not be far behind if that were the case.

What's going on in hurr?

Put a jamming gripper on the end of one of these and I'm set.

>>2595306
Yeah, that's all true. But you must account for the mental aspect. Think about, for instance, how fundamental sleep is to our lives. Take that away and things are drastically changed for us, most probably negatively I'd think. The physical ability is nice, but if you don't account for the mental aspect you'd be in for a rude awakening.

I'd probably wait until there was some reason to replace them, like a debilitating accident or something. I mean, robot arms are cool and all, but I figure there would be other powersuit like tools you could use instead beforehand.

>>2595545
However, we do spend a large chunk of our lives asleep, often doing little that is either enjoyable or productive. The less time that we're required to do it, if at all, the better I find. Obviously a greater understanding of sleep is necessary to solving the direct need for it, mentally anyway.

There already are somewhat, able to lift 200lbs etc. easily but theyre not exactly iron man. Still, imagine in 50 years.
