Then I feel like asking, what is the purpose of robots\cyborgs?

Wouldn't it be to do work for us? Things that are too dangerous, stressful, painful etc.

After a while, we won't have human janitors, cause they are replaced by a more "powerful" Cyborg which can work day and night, and he doesn't bitch about having to clean up a mess. Then the cycle would expand and expand, removing more and more human jobs..

Or is the whole Cyborg thing some kinda pet Israelites want for fun?

1. We're discussing cyborgs. Robots are fully mechanized, cyborgs have human stuff in them (i.e. brains or arms).

2. It's Israeli's, not Israelites.. :P

3. It's just some Israeli scientists who set this milestone. Israel has good scientists (because they're a smart nation) so they discovered this first. America, and I'm sure Sweden too (to name some) are doing research around the developement of cyborgs. It's not a secret cyborgs would make good soldiers, etc.. And it's sure as anything any nation wouldn't invest that much time in a project meant for ''recreational purposses''. :P

The two of you are both assuming your theory will become reallity.

Truth is, we can not know what influence this will all have on our future. We can only speculate..

Good to hear since thats what i am doing.

Yes well I understand that. It wasn't my intention to be patronizing or anything like that but with all due respect: assumptions don't make good arguments.

Mh i readed the article this time. And well, i think we are far far away from cyborgs, at least to make a complete artificial body to put a brain in.

But i don't understand the title, they've managed to make neurones from culture to work with hardware, well ok. But it's just neurones from culture, so not a living being in all it's complexity. So it's not really a cyborg.

Making neurones from culture working with hardware will be useless if they don't find a way to extract somebody's brain and spinal cord without killing him. Also : find volunteers :P
