The development of a bionic person?

I'm not really sure. There is no doubt that it is remarkable technology and bionics provides an amazing possibility for a variety of medical issues such as those who have lost their limbs or use of them. However, the old school, keep it natural part of me kind of panics when I think about the ways in which developing bionic people could backfire. It seems that there is alot of potential for major enhancement of physical and mental abilities but where does that leave our spiritual, intuitive and creative aspects? Without the balance of all of these features it makes me wonder how the qi or lifeforce would be affected in a bionic person? Would it lead to a further disconnection from the natural world and how would this affect the environment? Would basic human emotions of love and compassion still be inherent in bionic people? Could there be a hostile divide created between humans and bionic people? Would the war hungry freaks take advantage of the power of bionics?(that last one is probably a yes)
