Human augmentation (enhancement as some call it) can be defined as the intentional manipulation of humans for the purposes of enhancement, using both means natural and artificial. Human augmentation can also be called Human 2.0 [Techopedia]. Augmentation is any procedure that alters human shape/genes, including but not limited to plastic surgery, genetic manipulation/therapy, cybernetics, pharmaceuticals, stem cells, nanotechnology and 'computer science. Human augmentation is perfectly acceptable. Through augmentation, we as a human race can improve people's body image, save humanity from many genetic disorders, and improve the overall quality of life. In the future, humans will be able to transcend what it means to be a person through augmentation. The augmentation can improve people's body image. Some of the most well-known forms of augmentation available today are plastic surgery, gene therapy, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and the use of pharmaceuticals. All of this can help someone feel better about themselves and have a better body image. Some might argue that it is “immoral” to change the human body, which is considered the work of God by most religious sects. Now, this statement can easily be dismissed as Deus Vult (an appeal to a higher power) [UTEP], which has no place in a logical debate. Plastic surgery is one of the most well-known forms of physical augmentation. Plastic surgery can be defined as "a branch of surgery concerned with the repair, restoration, or improvement of lost, injured, defective, or deformed parts of the body [Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary]." Some of the most common practices in plastic surgery would be expansion or reduction of the breasts and/or buttocks, fat removal (liposuction... middle of paper ... drop of three pounds of tissue that holds each human individual being alive), this could have serious effects on health, or even lead to death. But if we consider the possible benefits of a direct neural interface with computers (ability to recall information almost perfectly, direct connection to the Internet without a computer, completely immersive gaming, etc.), then these individuals would understand that tests are necessary and no risk is too great for scientific advances like these. In conclusion, the increase is a good thing, or at least will be in the future. With technology evolving as rapidly as it currently does, there is no telling what awaits the human race in what could be considered a short period of time. Right now there may be health issues and moral issues, but these can all be ironed out in tomorrow's world..
