-=- Humans are organic machines. IF someday better machines are available to live in, there's no objective value to sticking with organic.
Don't worry In sci-fi art is anything to anticipate the future by, there is ample opportunity for amply proportioned women (with guns). Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I guess its kind of interesting to ponder what direction sci fi would take if science ever comes to the point of nullifying the confused gender/power issues that under-ride it.
i dunno man, yeah we shit and piss but we scrub up alright. love can be close to perfect. and boobs are pretty awesome.
We have such fickle minds we humans. A kiss from a lover is beautiful and delicate, and yet a bucket of his spit is repulsive. We marvel at the wonder of the human body and yet we are repulsed by women's menstrual blood, despite it being an amazing scientific tool for stem cell research, not to mention the amazing protein qualities of the substance. We seek biological perfection by looking to machines and yet, as Spidergoat quite accurately said, no machine is perfect either. We think of ourselves as clever and progressive and yet we still wage war and favour intelligent yet belligerent debate over heartfelt social banality. We watch a man trying to bring a world together through respect and understanding and pick him apart for the shortcomings he appears to have. We favour science over religion because it cannot be proven, and yet we see scientist arguing over bones of the people long since dead. We want people to give us our freedom and yet we seek to take others' away. Physical perfection is impossible with a human body, when one disease is cured another is spreading. Bacteria and virus grow and infect us and nothing we can do will stop them from causing disease. And so I wonder, if we had these perfect mechanised bodies, where would our hearts go?
I remenber when the firs hart transplants was bein done... som of the ignerent was out-raged... cause they thout a persons sole/feelins was in ther hart... an if you got the hart of a bad person then you woud also be bad.!!! PS A lot of people fear the future but i dout many of 'em woud want to go bak to the stone age.!!!
I don't know it what sense you mean "should." I think if my heart was going to break, it would have. I don't know if everyone should be able to. That seems very vain to say I'm tougher than anyone.

All would be perfect. We are as we are because of what we are........human, lowly, primitive. With technology we are able to make ourselves exactly to our liking, able to do away with what needs to go, and fill our consciousness with pure pleasure and happiness. Not to mention, we will be better adapted to survive.............and where will our hearts go? What does it matter?
So what are you proposing? Brain transplants into robotic 'perfect' bodies? Wouldn't our brains be just as imperfect, organic and susceptible to decay as our discarded bodies once were? What you are describing is indeed a paradise, but I don't see how it could be achieved even in a billion years. I'm trying not to be short-sighted here, but a large part of the self is our bodies - in fact, arguably all of it. Take that away and who are we?
No, we don't need to even keep the brain; what we need is to figure out how to transfer our consciousness altogether.
To 'transfer our conciousness'? What would that involve? I suppose we could take snapshot of the brain and create an exact replica, including memories, personality traits etc. Although, that does pose the question, would the replica-Norsefire be Norsefire? Or would your conciousness in fact be left behind in the old brain? Would you 'move across', as it were?
Good point. I am unsure how this would occur, but I am confident that, as we learn more, we will be able to find some way. Another thing we could do is transfer the brain, the organic brain, and through nanotech and various additions, we could improve it and maintain it and keep it from decay and disease.
The body is okay but we'd have to lose the g-string. But will the sex part work though? I mean its nice to look all cute and all but there would be no vaginal fluids so why promise sexual fulfillment?
