So it al depends on if the brain is human or robot.

Exactly. The interesting part is when the brain is itself partially "enhanced", for example memory enhancements. I'm sure that most people have already imagined a whole encyclopedia readily-available in the memory. But how far the association between electronic implants and the brain would still be human? ;)
I mean, is someone able to speak more than 100 languages at native quality (including Ancient Hindu, Traditional Mandarin and Klingon) still human? :p
The real sign that someone has become a fanatic is that he completely loses his sense of humor about some important facet of his life. When humor goes, it means he's lost his perspective.

True, but that would be kind of cool having a cyborg for a friend though. Like the cyborg would protect you from bullies’, muggers ECT. But would the cyborg have to sleep or eat? It is half human.

Be that as it may, it does not involve hawks or doves, Republicans or Democrats, Whigs or Torries, etc. :p Therefore, the possibility for the arguments we wish to avoid is next to nil. :lol:

Maybe because it's some thing that you thought would never happen, and that it might turn out wrong. But then agene every thing happens for a reason.

I'm not really afraid of it happening. When this trend was made, I was going to ask if it could be deleted, but too late. Plus, I'm okay with it. There are other sites anyway discussing this topic.

I guess it's going around. I wonder if the humans are ready for some thing like this.
