Not necessarily a neuralink specifically, just any genre or type of cybernetic implants, if they were or will become available. I'm super hesitant on anything interfacing with my brain so I'd probably stay organic, except like if I lost my eyesight or hearing.

Someone hasn't played the Deus Ex series...

No. Restoring human-like capability following some kind of traumatic event, sure.

"Nothing voluntary" and "nothing that grants superhuman abilities" are the bare minimum to make sure it doesn't turn into an arms race, leading to a tiered society with the enhanced elite ruling over the organic poor.

    Thats more a capitalism problem though. Literally any technology increases human capability in some way, its just usually not as visceral a way as something that modifies one's body, and then you still get the issue that those with wealth end up owning that thing and controlling what it is used for to their own ends, which generally dont include sharing that control with everyone else. Theres not some distinction between that capacity increase being external or internal that makes the latter lead to inequality but not the former.
