HUMAN v2.0

Meet the scientific prophets who claim we are on the verge of creating a new type of human - a human v2.0.

It's predicted that by 2029 computer intelligence will equal the power of the human brain. Some believe this will revolutionise humanity - we will be able to download our minds to computers extending our lives indefinitely. Others fear this will lead to oblivion by giving rise to destructive ultra intelligent machines.

One thing they all agree on is that the coming of this moment - and whatever it brings - is inevitable.

well,
as you may tell, i am a little fearful of modern scientific development
without the saftey control of actual human rational deliberation.

Now, i find the U.S. as the terror zone with the Obama approach to the
industry.

"NEVER has so much money been pumped into science so quickly and with so much hanging on a successful outcome. The full scope of President Barack Obama's agenda to revitalise the ailing US economy has now been revealed, and it is arguably the biggest bet on science and technology in history." - New Science Online

Cancer treatment yields futuristic weapon

The technology involves short, nanosecond-long pulses of extreme voltage.
For reasons as yet unknown, this can cause a cell to destroy itself in a process known as apoptosis, something being investigated as a cancer treatment. But the nanosecond pulses are also being researched as a way to temporarily disable human muscles.

The Jugum Penis Guard- Science isn't always Right

This device was intended as a treatment for "nocturnal incontinence" and to prevent masturbation. It was designed to deter nighttime emissions by causing enough pain to waken the sleeper if an erection threatened.

Until relatively recently, masturbation was considered a moral weakness and at least partly responsible for a whole range of debilitating medical conditions. Now there is some suggestion that the opposite may be true: frequent self-pleasuring could protect against prostate cancer.

Barbie dolls-Happy 42nd Birthday

This image depicts 32,000 Barbies, equal to the number of elective breast augmentation surgeries performed every month in the US in 2006.

In 2005, 291,000 American women had bags implanted in their breasts, 324,000 Americans had fat vacuumed out of their bodies, and 231,000 had fat, skin and muscle cut from around their eyes.

If you include less common operations such as buttock lifts, pectoral implants and vaginal rejuvenations, as well as "minimally invasive" procedures such as Botox injections, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons estimates that Americans underwent at least 10.2 million cosmetic surgery procedures in 2006
