Medical microchips? Bionic eyes? LED tattoos? A lot of people want them, and most people surveyed say they should be allowed.
You used to have to sneak around to get a tattoo. Now, though, a new survey from Tidio, a customer service chatbot provider, shows that a majority of Americans are fine with cyborg-level body mods. Using Amazon Mechanical Turk and Reddit, Tidio surveyed 1,127 people, with a split of 57% male and 42% female and an average age of 37. Men and women agree in equal numbers that cybernetic modifications should be allowed, as long as they’re done by trained pros or, better yet, as healthcare. But when it comes to allowing anyone and everyone to get bodily upgrades, men are much more likely to think people should be able to do anything they want (32%) than women (23%). In fact, more women (18%) think cybernetic enhancements should be illegal than men (8%) if they aren’t done for medical reasons.
