Your icon is partially unfair, partially contraproductive (because it shows Putin as if he would be gay, while he is not). Beside that, this happens in Russia with the approval of the majority of the people. | |
| Jan 25, 2017 at 8:11 | comment | added | satibel | what cyberpunk has told me is that having a human brain inside a "superior" body may create disdain for "normal" humans. Mental breakdown may be an other problem, as they might be rejected by flesh humans. So murderous rampage and suicides might stop them from living much longer. (this is assuming brain-in-a-box are a minority.) | |

| Jun 28, 2016 at 15:51 | comment | added | Ciro Santilli OurBigBook.com | @JaredSmith I hadn't thought much about that, but I suppose that the problem would be greatly offset by the fact that an old robot body could be easily changed for a new one. | |

| Jun 28, 2016 at 15:19 | comment | added | Jared Smith | Saying 'the technology is really reliable' seems somewhat hand-wavy. Real materials undergo fatigue and are subject to environmental degredation and are generally (in those senses and up to a logical threshold) less reliable than self-healing biological ones. | |
