My sister has a brain tumor. The tumor, near her spinal cord, disrupts her body movements. She would love to have her body act normal again.<p>I am always looking at medical procedures that help the handicapped. I find it fascinating. I believe that if the technology was available to turn my body into a cyborg, I would do it. Maybe I watched too much Ghost in the Shell.<p>Im not talking about super human strength or even living longer, but I would like better vision or quicker reflexes.<p>I remember seeing this on here a couple weeks back.
A video about augmented eyesight.

Fantastic article and reporting. I've read about people with "locked-in syndrome" where doctors implant chips in their brains, and the patient can control a mouse on a computer screen with their thoughts. I wouldn't mind having that technology implanted in my brain, although I've heard that China has an electron bomb that fries all electronics within an absurd-mile radius; I would be worried about getting my brain fried.
