Namaste, Peres's comment can be used in the material and in a spiritual context. For fear prevents the road to moksha, for who fears and what does one fear? The mouse cyborg has probably already been done with human cells as well, but not advertised. Now if they had let the brain develop its almost full capacity and put in charge of a computer---is that human? Would an entity attracted to the dna and subtle vibrations become associated with the cyborg? From an Advaitic point of view there is nothing to enter or worry about but from another point of view it raises serious questions. It would drive the 'Right to Lifers' insane. Would terminating the brain be abortion? for example. It shows the speciousness of all these arguments and bears out that the human entity is just a construct of tendencies and attributes, and that is from a level of non advaita.........ONS...........Tony.
