Bionic Vital Organs

Complete cybernetic replacement of the heart, lungs, or other vital organs is usually performed only to save a life. This may be combined with additional implants that improve on the original organ.

Bionic Organ Transplants (TL9)

One of the most common operations, this extends TL8 medicine with better pacemakers, artificial lungs, etc. The procedure is common, and therefore cheaper than most cybernetics.

Availability: Major procedure (minor at TL11-12). $7,000. LC4.

Boosted Heart (TL10)

This combination of a cybernetic heart upgrade and arterial reinforcement allows the recipient to temporarily boost his metabolism beyond human norms. It can be added to either a healthy or a bionic heart.
