Yes. In a heartbeat. And unlike some of my fellow Escapists, I'd even be a guinea pig for augmentation. Health problems? Pshaw. I wouldn't care because BOW BEFORE MY AUGMENTED MIGHT, PUNY MORTALS! TREMBLE IN FEAR!
Joking aside, I really would willingly sign up to be a guinea pig for augmentation. Given my medical history, I probably wouldn't be chosen, but I'd still sign up. Yeah, health issues are a concern, especially the issue of rejection, but all things considered, I'd risk it. Augmentation holds too many benefits for society as a whole, and for myself personally, to not take the chance. I'm not usually the type of person to give a shit about society, but in the case of augmentation, I'd be willing to put my dislike for mankind aside to do something great for it.
If we're talking about after augmentation is proven safe, and is on the market as cosmetic surgery? Well, yes and no. Yes because fuck yeah, cyborg me up! Less talking, more augmenting! No, because the likelihood of augmentation being affordable is slim to none, and I ain't exactly financially well off. This of course gets us into the issues of classism, the wealth gap, and the effects augmentation as an expensive procedure would have on said issues, and this makes me a bit nostalgic for Danyal and his constant banging on about the Singularity, which, some have theorized, could have similar societal impacts. And that, oddly enough, makes me think of bestiality, which, if you knew Danyal, isn't a weird connection at all. And I'm rambling. MOVING ON!
If we're talking after augmentation has become a basic human right, and therefor free(pffffffffffft), then i divert to "fuck yeah!" as my answer. I mean, as long as I'm not getting some shitty D-model or something. Like, I'd rather have an "average human strength" model that only needed a tune-up every so often to a superhuman model that needs constant maintenance.
