    Realistically speaking, we really need to start differenciating between restoring human functions (like artificial eye for the blind) and enhancements augmenting abilities normal human limits (that same eye having x-ray and nightvision).

    Restoring functions, at least, should be treated as universal medicine and healthcare and be available for whoever needs it.

      That requires defining normal function which is mega dangerous. Especially as we move away from default humanity.

        Thats true, but there has to be a line drawn between someone disabled by accident or illness looking to recover their body faculties vs someone with no health issues looking to ‘upgrade their limbs because it looks cool’.
