yeah, im just saying that it has neared the tipping point. before now, it has been a clear disadvantage to have prosthetics instead of natural limbs. prosthetics will only get better, and voluntary "upgrades" will happen before forced ones. i would imagine that military practice would start with people that have had limbs removed due to injury. professional athletes could very well opt for voluntary amputations if it meant enough of an advantage, especially for those on the cusp of being pro. they already have issues over steroids and other performance enhancing substances, and there is a certain percentage that would do ANYTHING for the edge that puts them over the top. and there is a ton of money in athletic enhancement
