Transhumanists are coming. As are bionic cyberterrorists. The future is both amazing and scary!

Hmm, in both cases I think we'd need to have developed an (open-source or proprietary) prosthesis that was superior to the limb it replaces, which seems like it's a ways off still. Then you could imagine people voluntarily replacing their old-fashioned biological limbs; right now the replacement process is a lot less voluntary, and the recipients would be excited just to achieve parity...
