...but...why? What is the point of living skin on machines? Even humans do everything they can to make their skin not look human :D

It would be cool if somebody missing an arm could get a cybernetic replacement that looks and feels real.

That's the only situation I can imagine where maintaining a living skin is worth the cost. I can't even keep plants alive.

Looks and feels real? I’m sorry but if i’m getting a cyberpunk upgrade it will be gold, chrome, or matte neon plastic. There are no other options ya gonk.
