What? Senior? What? Who gives a crap about that.

Anyhow, surgeries like those are becoming more common.

That's just standard laser eye surgery actually. It's nothing new, and I wouldn't think of it as augmentation - it's corrective surgery and pretty common.

Corrective laser surgery, remedial gene therapy, organorobotic transplants, they seem like fairly logical and believable steps in medical advances and not too disconnected from our reality at the moment.

Technically, that still leaves you with two choices... :cheeky:
Yes, hence *one* double entendre. :rolleyes:

Oh, for sure. Laser eye surgery works on a very simple concept that requires advanced technology. It's the things that have complex concepts that are going to be an arse to get working, just like gene therapy. I see robotics as the next big thing medically, and the step from medically useful robotic prosthetics to robotic enhancements is just a step and some cash away from that. Heck, I already want one of those Japanese power suits.

First link from google search "japanese power suit". Unlike you, I included the correct terms in my post. THAT is why I was telling you not to sigh at me - you had messed up. Not that you'll understand what I'm saying; I predict a reply which shows this.

Dang - can't do it.

Here's one the US military has had in development. Somehow it reminds me more of Starcraft than Deus Ex though:
