My augmented body vision is to increase my strength and physical abilities through the addition of extra limbs. These would ideally be mechanical in design, because physically grown arms would require more complex skeletal and muscular systems to power them, and a lot more blood and oxygen than the human body can provide, or the heart was intended to pump.
Extra arms would allow for increased strength, lifting ability, climbing mobility, and enhanced dexterity due to having more hands. With more arms- you could carry all the groceries upstairs in a single trip. You could climb trees with ease. You could high-five four people at once.
I was inspired by the Indian/Hindu deities such as Shiva, Ganesh, and Kali. They represent many facets of human endeavors and our various behaviors- but one thing elevates them above the likes of mortal men: physical superiority! If we could have more arms, we could remove one more obstacle holding us back from achieving greatness, and further bridge the gap- bringing us closer to our godly inspirations
