I think something like cybernetic implantation would be a worthy venture to take if the technology were available. We can't always extrapolate a new technology this radical and take it to a post-apocalyptic end can we?
The potential for this type of leap in technology could reach far and wide. Medicine would take a great step forward, terminal illness would all but be eliminated. Sure, there is the possibility of human harvesting like we saw in the McCaffery piece. However, it should not be lost on us that one of the underlying threads of that excerpt is that the ship-captain experience was meant in a way to show that, body aside, women and men would and do share similar patterns of thought, making them worthy of equality.
That story furthers the idea concept, for me anyway, that the male perspective isn't necessarily more conducive to the terrible ends such a technology would promote as much as a female perspective would be for something like cybernetic implantation or nuclear power for instance.
