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?

I'm more afraid of the ghost in shell future, not so much because of cyborgs/androids, but because of how the brain becomes another hackable computer. Your memories could be altered or erased, your body taken over and other such things
