Genetic Control Center

Genetic Control Centers are cybernetic implants used by Humans in both interstellar states and independent colonies that are primarily used to adjust glandular activity, internal body pressures, and oxygen absorption rates to increase comfort levels of individuals no matter their immediate environment. In addition, they provide a number of services, such as passive genetic therapy to remove harmful mutations and genetic conditions, active antibiotic activity to remove malignant bacteria, and ease common maladies such as poor vision, colorblindness, menstrual cramps and bleeding, and poorly aligned teeth. 
A secondary functionality is to allow a number of modifications to be made to the body, most often for aesthetic purposes such as a change to an individuals natural hair or eye color, but can be as extreme as a total physical change to resemble another being, including alien species, other humans of both the same and opposite sex, or simply whatever an individual wishes to look like. This is done in a medically induced coma in a microgravity environment to prevent gravity-based complications such as skeletal deformation that is too severe to be gently repaired by the GCC itself. 
The final function, one added much later, was to take a snapshot of an individual's mental state for a later upload to an emulator platform or flash clone in a vegetative state upon death. A number of offers of this kind have been placed in the contracts for independent elements hired by the Orion Confederation who undertake hazardous missions. A notable example was the team sent by the Orion Confederation and Apsic Empire to deactivate the Demetian ATLAS v1.3, who were killed by a nuclear detonation and woke up in plain emulators.
