Art & Nature & Technology Comments

I disagree with the idea that the human body is just a prosthetic of the brain. If we were plastic silicon robots hooked up to our brains then yes our bodies would be functioning prosthetics. But we are not. Our bodies are constructed of thousands of other processes and are alive - sometimes not regulated by the brain, but other chemical or physical processes. I'm not a doctor or scientist but I know from living that we are not prosthetics.

I also feel that this transhuman research should not be conducted at all or on individuals with brains that function well enough already. There are many people in this world and even in our country and our state suffering whose needs could be met with the amount of time, money and energy spent conducting this research.
