Is it right to use cybernetics, genetic modification etc. to change ourselves into super-humans and conquer death. I know it's still a hypothetical, but few people realise just how close we actually are to this. Conservative estimates say we'll have a "cure" for aging within 15 or 20 years, and the first bionic people are here now.

And if you think it isn't right, wouldn't you have to agree that modern medicine, transfusions, prosthetics, nutrition, surgery and the like are already crude forms this? And couldn't you also say that we've always attempted this using alchemy, yoga, western magic etc?
By the way, this movement is called Transhumanism. Well worth researching.
