You know, I have never actually considered this aspect of "cyborg-life". Given how much I slouch at desks all day, yeh, a life saving kidney digging in my ribs would get annoying !
I suspect it would just be an internal version of the parental "stop slouching dear". Users might report better backs as well as kidneys !
And just to be clear, Science and medicine makes amazing advances each day and decade. I am astonished by the idea this even is close to working.
when you're in the situation where you need a kidney replacement uncomfortable positions are the least of your worries.
Like you said: I'm amazed by the fact that were close to having a replacement. Not sure how many will be able to afford it but still. It's one step forward.
And not having the side effects and ongoing costs of imunosupressant drugs - It will be very good for BAME communities that have problems with low % of compatible donors.
