Cybernectics & Biowares
Cyberware describes technology used in body modification, first used for medical purposes. They've since become a lifestyle choice, being sported like tattoos and jewels. It uses artificial, mechanical elements implanted onto the body made to enhance an individual. The technology interacts with various parts of the body, mainly the brain and nervous system, and can even replace some functions or add to them. Optics, for example, allow the user a greater sight and record what they see. Certain wares allow the user to connect with various machines like cars or have concealed weapons.
Biowares are enhancements based on physiology rather than electronics. The enhancement itself is meant to improve a biological function, rather than replacing it with mechanical parts. Nanotechnology is the basis of most biowares as they can be smaller than a hair's thickness and self-replicate. You can upgrade the immune system via nanites, augment the healing process, and even make you like far longer than natural.
While both wares can be expensive, they're affordable by most of the middle class and even the poor in some situations. Price is still a sign of quality, hence why the Elites sport the best on the market.

Flatliners
Flatliners are individuals who, through certain changes to themselves, are considered to have "died" in order for these changes to apply.
A commonly known type of Flatlining is the transgender conversion in which the body is altered down to the genetic level. (As opposed to real life which hasn't gone there yet.) In this situation, a female to male like Drakar would be able to reproduce as male with the same functionalities as the male sex/body type.
Another common type is the replacement of defective organs, tissues, and body parts.

Engineering
Aside from the ones listed above, there are plenty other forms of engineering. Some sapiens may want to alter their entire genetic code, say a dyre getting a new coat for example. Some individuals may want to indulge into their fantasy such as having extra body parts and other exotic things.
Other common forms of engineering include the on-purpose alteration of diseases to have them go extinct or make someone immune to them.
One nanotech has cooling/heating abilities to make someone able to deal with any temperature. It's mostly used for travel.
