i spend way too much time thinking about this. if limb replacement could be done with a convincing biotech prosthetic, like limb regeneration but with upgrades, would that be more socially acceptable than a robotic prosthesis?

and then what about the scenario of amputating healthy limbs to replace with performance upgraded prosthetic. is it less controversial if the prosthetic looks identical to natural arm and is made of animal cells instead of metal and wires?

and what if you keep your original healthy limbs but just graft on some extras instead? is that less acceptable than remaining 4-limbed?
