Wow... that’s hard core!! I read the comments, on the link and found it interesting and I guess understandable how so many people found it offensive. I'm really interested to hear your reaction to it. How do you feel about it? It kind of makes me think about what is considered human and how we separate species. Humans aren’t meant to have ears on their arms, so if someone does are they to be considered 'full human'? If someone is born with two heads is it one human or two? I guess this kind of separation is due to our natural desire to categorise? An attempt to understand 'reality' justify our everyday actions and create some kind of order. I guess then it relates to things like cyborgs and robots. As we continue to make technology smarter and more like us, are we slowly creating a new species?
