content: I think it depends on how you look at things. We take all sorts of drugs that do things to our brain and body without having any real clue about the exact functionality or overall effect they're having on you. Things like SSRIs, such as Prozac, have monumental and very poorly understood affects on the brain. Yet it's things like this that seem insanely invasive. Of course that's because it is quite literally invasive and not just a little pill you swallow, but it seems to me that the actual effect is seemingly far more tamed - and paradoxically with potentially far greater returns. In a nutshell this is why I'm far more supportive of improving the human condition with cybernetic augmentations than with things such as genetic engineering and manipulation. I've no ethical qualms with either, but I think in the former we have a much more firm grasp on what it is we're actually doing.
