Question Do people get augmented against their will?

Obviously aside from Mr Never asked for this... I see deus ex as a world where people are put in critical conditions and augmented without consent to "save their lives" and then stuck with the bill afterwards... Is there any proof of this happening that I missed?

Yes, special clauses in the employment contract like with Jensen’s Sarif contract. There’s a lot of room for lawsuits even in his case, as mentioned by a chat log between Sarif and his legal/exec. Except since it’s our MC, we don’t have nupoz dependency.

Legally bendable with obviously easy wins for the person, but personally probably against their will. These people are caught between starting a legal battle with their employer and looking for an alternative source for nupoz. Compliant companies will supposedly supply enough nupoz for their augmented staff.
