      <![CDATA[@10 - By "After Human" (he didn't say "less"), I think Chuck is implying that our design flaws are what make us human. Failing eyesight, windpipes, and pancreases are part of the normal human condition, and now it is becoming possible to overcome that. <br />
<br />
Ultimately (and hypothetically), immortality could be achieved. I mean, that is the goal, right?<br />

      <![CDATA[Speaking as someone who would damn sure love a working pancreas, yay for stem cell reserch and growing organs that can make our lives better.  Someone please tell me how this make someone "less" human or "post" human?  We're not cyborgs yet... in fact, the more we use our own tissue to heal ourselves, the less likely that sci-fi future will take place...

      <![CDATA[now that the election is over are you gonna go back to your parade of silly, hyper-pseudo-intellectual musings on stuff that's not that big a deal?<br />
<br />
the lady got a new wind-pipe, she can breath and eat and talk, all human activities. yay for her. i don't think it constitutes this tortured soul searching. people have been getting fake parts for hundreds, even thousands, of years. fake teeth, fake hair, peg legs, hooks for hands, pretend noses, all kinds of crap. if anything, i would argue that restoring someone's ability to function makes them more human, or at least it might make them feel more human.
