Analysis
As it does not provide additional efficiency, it's best as a replacement body part. Bionic spines can cure colonists with scarred or shattered spines, as well as the "bad back" condition from old age. These conditions are otherwise only curable with Luciferium or a Healer mech serum.
The bionic spine can also be useful to give to transhumanists for a mood buff without affecting any stats.
