Human Enhancement: Is it wrong to change what we are?

Im in the same corner as Madness. I welcome human enhancements.

Also if i would get a change to become a cyborg, even military one, I would take it.

Of course it would make me look like a freak and people would fear me... I would be proud of that body.

I also think that humanity must evolve from our time to CNT-age (Carbon Nano Tube).

Machines and men will eventually become a norm, but until then, i would want to be first in line to become a cyborg.

 

No matter how advanced our technology becomes, these operations should always remain optional. We're already in the step of the right direction thanks to the science of 3D printing. So many people could benefit from artificial limbs, organs (or what have you). It's risky, yes. But how are we to ever make progress without a little bit of trial and error? The power of science is limitless, and we've only grazed the tip of the iceberg.

 

Human enhancement. What a fragile topic to some people today.

First of all, I think that human enhancement should definitely be allowed. While I may not have any immidiate physical health problems, I still think that we have every right to use technology to further our own lifespan, and just generally keep ourselves alive. For those who believe that it's "Morally wrong", I would have to respond with "You're a fool". I'm sorry if this applies to anyone here, and please don't take it personally. I just feel that religion and ethical beliefs are restricting our technological development far too much. I mean, we've made robotic limbs, artifical organs, and heck, even just whole robots. Surely it can't be too difficult to stretch that technology onto humans?

And personally, yes, if I ever suffered a serious injury whereby I lost any limbs or organs, I would want artifical body parts to replace them. No point in surviving without them if I could have a replacement that works just as well - If not better.

 

This is a touchy subject for me.

I'm one to say that the human form is beautiful, and it should be taken care of in its lifetime. However, I also say that people should do with their bodies as they please so long as it makes them happier or feel better about themselves (this applies to piercings, tattoos, etc).

Human "enhancement" is a little bit of a bad connotation for me, so I'll call it "human renewal". The topic of morals is prevalent here because of the issue of equality. People will want "equal access", but I think human renewal should be available as an option for those that suffer from ailments that reduce functionality of part of themselves.

Of course, this brings upon the subject of what classifies as "reducing functionality".

 

I would only take the risk if it was a life vs death emergency. Because the human body is amazing in its true form anyways.
