cyborgs.., a "what if" scenario.. Options

[DivA]

this came to mind from seeing the trailer for the upcoming - i,Robot ~ it got me thinking...if a time ever came where our world advanced far enough along to have actual cyborgs participating in various duties of daily life, then how would you react to that? would you treat them fairly to best of your ability, or would you look upon them as nothing more than servants - firmly convinced that they are best used to "serve" humanity? would you be comfortable in dealing with them?

but more importantly ~ is it wise to even consider introducing such an element into civilization at all? though knowing that our standard of living may improve, an unpredictable price will surely ask to be paid.. =.

~thoughts?

You say that not all of us are muffinheads, but the sad fact is there are still a large amount out there who are. If one of those muffinheads where actually a person of great wealth or significance, they could influence an android Genocide a~la "The Matrix's: The Second Renissance" Reason being is that although our government may seem as it is for the people, It is really here to serve the elite of our country not us, the common average blue collor workers.

Also, after seeing the movie recently "A.I.(Artificial Intelligence)" The events and actions portrayed in it, all seem very plausible which I think would lead me to beileve that our society can't handle those kinds of androids. Of course, it is just a movie and I do think we are able to accept and that eventually we would get use to them. But rather as having them do meaningless tasks such as taking out the trash or doinng dishes. I would leave to see them do things we as human beings can't do. Such as deep space exploration, or really, really, deep see exploring.

Me, I personnaly enjoy robots and would love to see one. But what I would prefer the most would be a giant Mech more.
