Robotics and humans are not strangers. Many humans have robotic parts to replace those there were damaged/destroyed. Do you?

I do, sort of. I have a bionic ear. Decades ago I had otosclerosis and my hearing was reduced by 90%. I had an operation that replaced the frozen stapes with a wire and my hearing has been perfect in that ear ever since. A wire. Opened up the world. Some folks have robotic limbs. They're not as good as the real thing but they do a pretty good job.
