A thought just came to me. In spite of the themes of technology and its affects on the Human condition, the idea of willfully cutting off a perfectly good limb is often incentivized in lore and in the mechanics of the system to a degree.

I now find it confusing because you'd think having to tend to high tech hook hand or peg leg now comes with a bunch of problems like medical and mechanical maintenance and care but these concerns are often brushed over.

This is not me saying cybernetics and prosthetics arn't cool but if some manner of transhumanism is being explored as a way of showing you have to really step up your game to make it in society I don't think replacing a single arm you didn't need to chop off is going to help you climb the ranks of the corpo empire you work for.
