		<description><![CDATA[As body modification gets better, it will get more attractive. But, as TGGP points out, the freedom to play with your body versus society&#039;s right to keep you from doing that is an old question. 

I just watched the documentary &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigger_stronger_faster&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Bigger, Stronger, Faster&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which poses the interesting question of why athletes are tested for &quot;performance enhancing drugs,&quot; but not, for instance, musicians, who apparently frequently use them.

One thing: I think &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paralympics&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Paralympic&lt;/a&gt; athletes find it offensive when people confuse their events with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Olympics&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Special Olympics&lt;/a&gt;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Interesting stuff. I think it will be interesting how it will impact our life in the long run. Life could be extended substantially if we are able to continue healthy function of our vital organs, along with our mechanical bodies. Even then, we may have mechanial alternatives for our organs. At that point a healthy brain will be all thats required it seems like. Are we going to become robots in the future? I don&#039;t know.

But I am excited for the developments.

And actually, maybe we will see a return of manufacturing jobs to america haha. With bodies as powerful as machines we won&#039;t need to have robotics only doing all the work. 

And the whole thing about sports. I doubt that would happen (seperate leauges for bionics and stuff). Robotic parts could be considered performance enhancing. Everyone hates those things, people want to see natural ability and its capabilities.  But you never know.]]></description>
