ok, so pro-life cyborgs for jesus.
how was i figuring this? so, the pope says we must take the measures to live. isn't it hypocritical of him to deny himself extreme measures to keep him alive, even if he were to fall into the state of Terri Schiavo??? Because she's alive, and it would be wrong to kill her, so isn't it wrong to deny himself the treatment necessary for the continuation of his life?
and if it is wrong, why stop at a ventilator or feeding tube? what about other artifical bionic means? the 6 billion dollar pope!
wkawkakwakwa... (you know,... that 6 million dollar sound)
anyways. if it's unjust to let someone die naturally, and you must preserve life at all costs, then won't this necessarily bring about the age of cyborgs, because by necessity people will need to extend their lives with machine technology as their organs fail and are replaced with synthetic substitutes.
so then we have pro-jesus cyborgs ready to force everyone else to become one of them. would this explain xianity's embrace of capital (yes, I'm leaving out things like liberation theology, and even the pope's more socialistic tendencies) but overall, maybe, since the machines are required, and capitalism is efficient at producing machines, and god wants us to be cyborgs (apparently), then that's why xianity and capitalism mix...
Are the xians going to someday mix with the extropians/transhumanists? that's just wrong!
