10. Humans may cease to exist as we become robots

Ask yourself this: is being a robot and the benefits with it (immortality, can be repaired, enhanced consciousness, loved ones never die, very powerful) better than being human?

To answer that question - we're already, slowly at the moment but gradually, becoming cyborgs. First it's prosthetic arms, then hearts, then brains? Food for thought. When does someone stop being human and start being a robot?
