I have a few (passive) implants. I had cataracts, and I have lenses implanted in my eyes. What was horrifying was watching myself slowly go blind over several months before I got the implants. I got a foretaste of what my life would be without them, and, yeah, I'll take the implants. I also have two stents in my heart. I was going to have a heart attack within five years. Again, I'll take the implants, and be glad for the chance. I can still run. I can still climb stairs, and I can do it without fear. None of these are intended to augment me (though I see better at distance than I have since kindergarten). They're intended to let me live normally rather than degraded. And in both cases, no, the implants didn't freak me out at all. I basically never think about them, but when I do, it's with gratitude, not revulsion.
