Future of Human Augmentation

Paranormal Adept
Joe Dvorak's lecture at Muskegon Community College in 2010 focused on the future of "replacement" parts for the human body and how it could affect human development and potential. According to Dvorak, we could see the appearance of "an entirely new form of human being: 'homo superiorus.'"

"In the past, you used to have to live with the body you were born with," said Dvorak. "Now, however, there are a growing list of options for the replacement and/or augmentation of parts of our body. And the list is growing. But the future holds opportunities for enhancement not only of the physical parts of our bodies, but also our mental, psychological, and genetic capabilities."

 
A very nice find stonehart. This is a field I find intriguing but also.find a little unsettling. I reckon I could live long enough to see the first of his three scenarios he mentions at the beginning but probably not the latter two and I'm ok w/that
 
Thanks all... yeah I find the field interesting myself and thought I should share.
If my line of work has not killed me by then I to should see the first two scenarios he talks about... I guess we will see.
