Lobby group Deaf Australia says the implant "implies that deaf people are ill or incomplete individuals, are lonely and unhappy, cannot communicate effectively with others and are all desperately searching for a cure for their condition. [This] demeans deaf people, belittles their culture and language and makes no acknowledgment of the diversity of lives deaf people lead, or their many achievements." - Practical Ethics
I imagine they'd make the same argument for the paralyzed. It's not that you are unable to cure paralysis/loss legs. It's that being in a wheelchair is an important part of your identity and you should celebrate your disability rather than seeing it as something you wish to have cured.
A world where you can raise the dead... but you can't cure a cripple. Lol

Yeah, meanwhile the actual paralyzed/legless are just saying "Bionic legs when? Fuck this wheelchair shit."
