Topic: healing and cyberware

[markc]

Hopw would the healing psychic power work if someone had cyberware? Would the cells around it try and replace the cyberware? Or would they stop growing at the human-cyber boundry?

Thier has not been a post here for a while so this was the best I could come up with.

Unless you were trying to regenerate the missing organ or whatever (not a good idea), I don't think there would be a problem.

I agree, as the cyberware has probably been there for quite some time the cells around it should have adjusted to the situation thus it should be a problem.

I was thinking about Shadowrun when I read this the first time and I "think" they had something about the bodies rejection of cyberware. Mostly I think they pumped the body full of meds to add in the healing process and to subdue alot of the bodies reaction to something foreign.
But come to think of it the body might not care much at all. Maybe people work around with piece of glass, shrapnel and so on from wars and accidents within their bodies, which isnt pushed out. I also read in a scientific magazin once about a person who many times pushed a blade through his abdomen. Since he had done it so many times, the body simply had made a tunnel of scartissue, which would never close. There is also the example of hipreplacements, they arent as far as I know rejected either.
The problem might lie in the area of the nerve interfaces, but actually I dont think there would be a problem, come to think of it.

Long post to agree with Defendi

I have a fusion in my back with titanium cages with bone cells taken from my hip and placed inside so as to provide support for the cages.
But what I was thinking was if an cyber part was removed or lost would a healing power regrow, would an bio-eng organ regrow bio-eng or would it be normal. If the person lost an bionic arm and then someone years later decided they did not need it....but wanted them to to have an arm. Would the power regrow the arm or would the cells be tranined enough to say it has been too long.
