The Sir Yaden books is a series of #SciFi #Fantasy novels set in a future universe dominated by the Virasana Empire created by Beryll and Osiris Brackhaus.

They follow Sir Yaden, a young “Lotus Knght” with powerful psionic powers to manipulate planets. In the first book, “The Demon of Hagermarsh,” Yaden meets his future husband, Colin, and in the second, “The Windmines of Bora Bora,” his sidekick Ivan. Yaden assembles more of a family in many of the other books, which now number more than six. The books need to be read in order, as there is an overarching plot about an ancient enemy of mankind returning.

Rather none if avoidable, that said since cloned Body parts exist (basically you can replace anything with a petri dish version or tech), cyborg implants exist, the NIN-Snail is one if them, that is connected to your brain & can be configured to send data directly into the regions that are used for feeling, tasting, hearing or any other sense other than the proprioception (the body is really good in detection of something being off), so people don't need to stay blind if they don't want to, nor are people forced to get implants. Not everyone wants to be "healed" some just live their lives in an society that champions freedom of choice & is inclusive to everyone from the ground up, like broader streets for multiple wheelchairs or families side by side.
Your body your choice & EVERYONE supports it (well at least in the Union. Idiots still exist elsewhere).
