Will prosthetics ever become so good that people will choose to amputate their own limbs?
    #23917385 - 12/11/16 06:36 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

I just saw this TED talk and it's amazing. The guy lost both his legs or almost and designed his own prosthetics. They are fucking amazing. They use your nerves to work and they work just like a real leg would ( or close too) Now this was 2014... Give that guy 10 years and he's designing updates for humans legs.

That video is 19:00 but after 3 minutes you'll already be psyched.

My question is, will prosthetics become so good that people will willingly amputate themsleves to get them?
Will people willingly amputate themselves for prosthetic limbs?
You may choose only one

Some people are into some pretty nutty body modifications already, so I don't know if that scenario really even requires that the prosthetics be that good.

I've been thinking about getting metal legs...it's a risky operation, but it's worth it.

No doctor will perform such amputations because there will never be a valid reason for it. Of course prosthetic limbs will never be as good, that's a no-brainer. People's craziness knows no limits, so medical ethics sets them for everyone's good. Unfortunately they don't go far enough; circumcision needs to be considered unethical in medical practice but it isn't, because of Jews and Muslims.

Im saving up money for new organs when mine fail in about 50 years. I'm going to buy a new mechanical liver, kidneys, heart, spleen  ect. All the ones that are guanunteed to go out eventually. I wana live to at least 200. So Ill let myself die in the year 2190 or later. Arm and leg replacements come second.

It won't work, you'll die sooner because your body isn't designed to work with prosthetics to the extent that it can work with your natural organs. Technology is very good, but not good enough to reverse engineer the human body and manufacture fully compatible organs. They'll only be partially compatible at best.
