I have every confidence that 'we'll' be able to augment and enhance people. 'plug-ins' for new and better senses.intelligence, skills, reaction times...etc..etc..etc.... However...I've seen exactly zero indication that we'll be able to make people from scratch.
It's possible by the time we do that, we'll be indistinguishable from that which we create in terms of being an augmented biological cybernetic organism.
I have no difficulty understanding augmentation. In fact I are. I have a gold crown. My toof is augmented. But wait..there's MORE...I were corrective lenses...AND not only that...I take both Blood Pressure medicine AND diabetes medicine.
I'm augmented.
That's a fact jack..the question is not IF..but to what degree. How much.
I see no limit....
I see ZERO evidence of building an intelligence from ground...uh...Zero.
Augmentation..yes.....construction..not so much.
