All of the body modifying technology, including that used for healing is an attempt to make up for the lost parts of self that have become unconscious. Through making the unconscious conscious, we will truly rise again, in both spirit and form. This means that form change becomes possible, without any need for technological substitutes. Becoming hooked into using machines to replace our lost, innate abilities is extremely dangerous and will lead those involved to the point where they cannot recover themselves fully. Not everything that glimmers is gold.
