Would you support the development of a "bionic" person
Would your view change if this were for a military person?
On one hand - am absolutely in favor of the "bionic" person. There are so many people who would benefit from these advances. There would be so many people who can lead "normal" lives because of the develops that now exist.
On the other hand, I see clearly how the development of technology can go horribly wrong. I know how manipulated the humans who have control of the technology can be - not only in that it will be tested on the poor or incarcerated to then be perfected and used by the rich - but also I see how anyone who is in contact with this technology can be tracked, followed, or even killed.
The moral question is - do we still develop this type of technology for the people who need in despite knowing what it can turn into? Is there a happy medium or a way to stop the terrible effects it can have?
To be fair, I would assume that a lot of this technology are already going towards veterans which means it is already for a lot of military people. It gives enforcement an upper hand against the civilian which is another scary idea if used by the wrong people.

I love to look at the (a)symmetical world in relation to Traditional Chinese Medicine. With a balance of Yin and Yang - everyone would be ...
I also see how this can go wrong. And like all things in a capitalist society, it would be driven by profits, so rather than creating a product that is for helping as many people we can, the creators would develop a product that is cost effective and only the wealthy will be able to use it, leaving many people still disadvantaged. I often see military as a driving force for a lot of the advancements in science, so I imagine something out of a sci-fi movie when I think of a bionnic military person.
