In some ways this seems awful - plastic in our bodies, really?
But I would likely happily make that tradeoff if I had some horrible illness or life-affecting disability that could be remedied with an implant.
If I had to choose between the ability to use my legs and "only" living to 75 instead of 85, for example, I'd take the implant 10 times out of 10.
