Man or mutant?
After our story last week about the PhD marrying robots, a regular correspondent writes: “I would like to come at the idea of artificial partners from the other end.
“I have a stainless steel hip and a titanium middle ear, and my wife did once raise the issue of just how much of me could be replaced before I would be declared non-human.”
If this occurs, his spouse intends to claim on the life insurance.
Would anyone care to lay down a practical definition by which we can divide the human race into humans and machines?
