Cybernetics soon?

A surgical procedure allows intuitive control of a sophisticated robotic arm.

By surgically rearranging the nerves that normally connect to the lost limb, physicians have developed an intuitive way for amputee patients to control a robotic arm.

I wonder how soon people will replacing their own limbs with bionic superior limbs?  I mean if you could get a set of legs that would allow you to run a marathon in under 2 hours, would you get them?
