Would you support the development of a “bionic” person?
Isn't a bionic person essentially a robot? So, why not? I don't really understand the point of developing a complete bionic human yet. Does it start as a real human? Is it a clone? I think the cloning issue brings up many smaller issues. I was reading about Dolly the sheep and saw she died young from what may or may not have been related to the fact that she was a clone. Cloning a complete human is irresponsible, if there are health issues involved. Well, hmm, I've been searching around the net.. and I guess I still don't fully understand what a bionic human is.
How would you rate “the control of artificial limbs by thought alone”?
That was a very inspiring article. It's like.. a physical, tangible experiment that proves we can control many things with our intent. It seems like that is obvious, if we want to close our own hand, we just do. But when artifical limbs are involved.. it seems more real. Like, yes, actually, it is us that controls our own bodies. From our hands to our health!
