Watched it, first thought (this is fake right!?!)
Carried on watching it, wow...
I think DX3 really has hit the nail on the head with how problems will start with the morality.
It has started as a disabled application of science. Soon the military will likely start going from "ok we give this guy a new arm because his got blown off to cover our backs" to "hey that new arm we gave that guy, lets put a gun in it".
And then from there, when these things become "better" than actual limbs (in terms of performance), it will catch on as a celebrity "must have", and then become a back-street black market thing, following the same trend as plastic surgery, where to plastic surgery now is cheap and easy to obtain.
As for riots? Not really. Plastic surgery hasn't caused major rioting in any sense, i dont think prosthetics will make much of an impact either
