A brief synopsis from the Al Jazeera website:

Cyborgs, brain uploads and immortality - How far should science go in helping humans exceed their biological limitations? These ideas might sound like science fiction, but proponents of a movement known as transhumanism believe they are inevitable.

In this episode of The Stream, we talk to bioethicist George Dvorsky; Robin Hanson, a research associate with Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute; and Ari N. Schulman, senior editor of The New Atlantis, about the ethical implications of transhumanism.

The above post isn't worthy of LessWrong's time (to be accurate: It doesn't have anything to do with rationality). I expressed this belief by voting it down.

You mean downvote this, right? Actually, I'm having trouble thinking of a reason why this is helpful over and above the karma system already in place.
