Just wait until they have bionic eyes for the blind. You gonna want one. And Elons neural lace.
After that it's not long until somebody can literally breathe fire.

Hey, @bluerobo.
Well, I'm not blind, so I don't think I'd need one for that, and it would seem to be a little drastic to get an upgrade just to be at 20/20 without corrective lenses. :)
I don't see myself wanting to breathe fire, either, or for that matter, to see anyone else breathe fire.
It's cool in the movies and to read in fiction, but the reality of it just doesn't translate.
Things that would keep those with disabilities within normal parameters of capabilities, though, would be great. There's going to be a cost for that, though, so how that would ultimately get paid for would be an issue, but by and large, similar to how anything new gets brought through some kind of production process.
Unfortunately, if they manage to get cybernetics going (which to some degree they already do), someone's going to want to add telescopic, night vision, x-ray and heat vision, and the next thing you know, they'll be shooting lasers from them. :) Way too many war applications, or criminal for that matter.
