You might be assimilated

From fixing blindness in cats now to enhancing our bodies later, or Mr. Boy's fav toys, the bionicals.

"We are approaching the technological inevitability when replacement body parts may surpass the abilities of our natural ones.  Legs that run faster or eyes that can see farther, sharper, or in the dark.  Would you get one implanted?"

You'd almost have to, just to keep up.

Maybe, but those sound like holding actions, rather than enhancements. Although just getting back to semi-normal can be a relief, I'm sure.
