Thoughts on transhumanism

HOLYSHIT BICYCLE WOMEN ARE HOT. And here I had a fetish for girls in wheelchairs all this time, silly me.

It takes a lot of abdominal strength and endurance to keep that pose up whilst functioning as a bicycle, so I'm pretty sure all bicycle women are at the very least physically fit and probably rather attractive. Though to be perfectly honest this is the only specimen I could find >.> On the other subject Shin...yeah, right now my focus is on creating cybernetic prosthetics capable of outperforming their human counterparts, mainly for military applications, though if you downgrade the materials it could easily be used as high end civilian prosthetics...I'm hoping with the downgrade in performance and weight etc... it will be able to be powered by your own electrical impulses. The military grade will probably have to use an outside energy source such as a portable high capacity battery (more than likely there will be removable batteries from the prosthetic)

Well I will say that for me I am for it. As for as I am concerned it will allow us to develop much more and despite what those crazy syfy movies dealing with the subject tell you it does not mean that it will turn us into something bad. Been really into the topic myself nowhere near research wise compared to karasu but all the same it is important to me. @karasu if you want maybe we could discuss it sometime if you are free and are open to it.

I'm always open to discussion Yu, just send me a message anytime... Oh...and yeah maybe cybernetics won't go bad like it does in scifi movies...but bio nano enhancement could go drastically wrong in so many ways...I mean...worst case scenario a nano-mite programmed to break down matter fails to stop breaking down matter and effectively destroys the whole world (it'd be worse if it was also programmed to use that matter to assemble more nano-mites)

Yeah I see where are you coming from on that nano enhancement is a wild card so to speak. One small error could result in massive damage to life if it is not taken care of fast and prompt. Also thanks when I am more free I will talk to you more about it^^

I'm probably never going to get around to nano-enhancements, I don't even really know where to start, I'd have to take extensive human biology classes and nano machine classes and getting the knowledge I would need to even make blue prints of the stuff would probably take about 18 years or so, at least with prosthetics I don't have to study as much/ there are already multiple readily made materials that I can select from and start building with once I get the money and a feasible product.

I wouldn't personally, hahaha. I'm pretty satisfied my body the way it is, flaws and all :P Though I wouldn't mind shedding a few pounds hahaha, finals week = stress eating for me :(

Karasu, cybernetics are great and all, but how are you overcoming the limitation of the material it is attached to? Having robo-arms is great, until the screws come loose from the bones in your shoulder. It would seem to me that an exo-skeleton would be a better idea for the short term for human enhancement, unless you are looking to help wounded soldiers. Also, I wouldn't mind some new eyes and ears. Those were the two upgrades I always got in ShadowRun.
