aviinterra -> technology and the Olympics (4/10/2008 10:46:13 AM)

Recently, a number of world records in swimming have been attributed to a new Speedo swimsuit. I kind of feel that such technology should be banned. The Olympics were supposed to show the best of the human form- the naked, unobstructed human form. I say that to make things fair we should return to the old custom of having the athletes compete absolutely nude. It would certainly merit getting up at odd hours to watch. [:D] Anyone agree?

no. most people look better with clothes on.  i know in the ideal world we think otherwise.

atholetes would then alter their physical body...maybe breast reduction, penis reduction, a dehyration procedure, maybe the fat surgery simply to win.  [could be a method we yet do not know exists]

humans and machines are merging.  i can wear glasses or have false teeth, but if i install super vision eye implants, put titanium in my joints for stamina,  remove my finger nails and replace em with computerized sensors... heck if my limbs are fake- and fake skin organs etc....am i a person?  how about if a machine or computer  thru smart logic feels and overpowers us and demand rights?  if a computer revcieves a human component; is it then a human?  why or why not?
