Terminally-ill scientist with motor neurone disease ‘transforms into world’s first cyborg’ by replacing body parts with machinery

A dying scientist battling motor neurone disease has become the world’s first full cyborg. Dr Peter Scott-Morgan, 61, was diagnosed with the muscle wasting illness two years ago but instead of accepting his fate he decided to transform himself into a robot and extend his life. He said he wanted to push the boundaries of what science can achieve so decided to extend his life and become fully robotic – and he’s now known as Peter 2.0.

That's disturbing

And again, as reported by The Sun.

Terminally-ill scientist with motor neurone disease 'transforms into world's first full cyborg'

Peter has embraced his transition to a digital voice, tweeting: "This is my last post as Peter 1.0.

"Tomorrow I trade my voice for potentially decades of life as we complete the final medical procedure for my transition to Full Cyborg, the month I was told statistically I would be dead.

"I'm not dying, I'm transforming. Oh, how I love science."

Also completely wrong. He's not becoming a cyborg, he just made a body double that he's remote-controlling with eyetracking software like it has been used for years.

You read it wrong, friend. HE is transforming. No other avator -- him.

“Almost everything about me is going to be irreversibly changed - body and brain.

“It goes without saying that all my physical interaction with the world will become robotic. And naturally, my existing five senses are going to be enhanced.

“But far more importantly, part of my brain, and all of my external persona, will soon be electronic - totally synthetic.

“From then on, I’ll be part hardware, part wetware, part digital, part analogue.

“And it won’t stop there: I’ve got more upgrades in progress than Microsoft. Mine isn’t just a version change. It’s a metamorphosis.”

I think this is way past keeping a positive outlook and far into the territory of self-delusion.

I think it's creepy. Why would anyone want to live forever in this lifetime? Boggles the mind.

I would. Lots of fun to be had, lots of things to experience, places to see, people to meet. Books to read, sciences to learn, trades to master.

But you stop being human. You are no longer God's creation. Bye-bye heaven.

Why trade heaven for the fallen world and decaying body?

I don't believe in your god.

I find it preferable to non existence

Question for you: why do self-proclaimed atheists hang out on Christian forums? I am truly curious.

To expose myself to thinking different from my own and get some kind of feel for where the religion that has the largest impact on my life stands on various issues.

That and the odd bit of FSTDT live.

 

[HopeInJesusOnly]

Very cool. I appreciate the response.

FSTDT live.

I understood all except for the acronym above.

A website that aggregates the more outlandish things that fundamentalists say.

Don't people watch TV? This will not end well....

That question gets asked on here at least once per month. Just search the answers.

No need, darling, I got an actual response. In real time, and from the person to whom I posed the question. Scroll up, you can read it for yourself.

There are more atheists on here, and everyone has his own answer.
