I think I would be in for only organic alterations of my body. I would accept nanomachines since they are not visible and act like other cells of my body, but macroscopic machines inside me are something different. If there were external machines that could link to my brain, like in
Total recall, mission is go. I would not want a neural net wired through my brain... because I can see my plug becoming a major weakness. Imagine if someone hit that with an electric shock? I'd be brain damaged for the rest of my life.

There's also the problem of the possibility of a company having rights to my body, or "owning" my body parts, similar to like it is in Ghost in the Shell.

Major surgery isn't a problem on my mind. As long as I am asleep or highly drugged and can't feel the intense pain of my body being forcefully reshaped (
Island of Dr. Moreau anyone? The book, not movies).
Ghost in the Shell was nice, but I don't really care about the meanings that creators try to throw into animes anymore. If you have seen Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040, you know why. That was a great anime (which fits into this discussion) until the whole presence of god bits at the end. Off topic but interesting nonetheless.
And why is no one else posting the crazy form they'd take?
