I recently had a couple thoughts I think seem fit to be discussed. Here are the two:
1. In the course of technology advancement. If humanity, if it is not influenced by any outside forces as well as within itself, progresses in technology as much as it does today, is it possible that the human race will no longer be so much as human, but more machine? Considering the idea that if mechanical engineering advanced far enough to where the human could be figuratively turned into a mechanical operation.
2. This coincides with my above thought. With the investment of biotechnology, could humanity perhaps create a 'self-aware' mechanical operation that is controlled via DNA, but the DNA is not connected to a human? Instead, the DNA is kept within the machine, allowing for possible development of brain tissue as well as various other internal qualities a human possess. With this then, could said machine have thought and reason that of a human?
