that is one of the big reasons why some people are very scared of us Transhumanists- we actually intend to be able to DIRECTLY and PHYSICALLY change your mind in a decade or two we are tired of of hateful fearful humans runing around opressing and killing each other- so we will fix the problem at it's source- after we release the nanocloud and you breathe in the limbic upgrades- you will finally understand where we technoshamanic progressives are coming from- whether you want to or not

Ah. I see. So, first allow me to don this totally fashionable tin-foil hat... That's better.

The 64 Thousand Dollar Question. As is evident in this very thread, it depends on who you ask. SetAI will tell you it's not until the 3rd trimester. You probably believe it's at conception.

In most circumstances, yes. But nothing is ever black and white. What about massively dibilitating defects? Rape victims?

Get with the program, or expect a New Chocolate Truth Squad at your door.

Awesome, I can expect door-to-door chocolates delivery? Sweet.


(haha. I'm punny.)

Frankly, I'll just be glad when it's over.

What, you actually expected something different this time? Why? Every single political thread here turns into this, each and every time. It makes me wonder why you started the thread in the first place, you knew what would happen!

Voted last week. Obama got mine. I thought he ran a higher-road campaign and I hope that translates to his presidency. Also, Palin is scary.

And there ya go.
