Let's image a human's brain was hooked up into a robot and it was behaving like a normal human.
Is this a machine with a fleshy hard-drive or a person with an exoskeleton?
The latter, I suppose. The "exoskeleton" is a machine, though.
>behaving like a normal
Let's imagine OP making non-retarded threads.

Well, I needed to dumb it down, so you can understand the thread.
By your dichotomy I side with it (still?) being a person, but I object to the diminution of the brain and mind to merely a hard drive. It at least deserves to be considered as a whole computer with an APU, Ram and HDD.

You have been visited by the "words don't have meaning" Frenchman. The realization that your attempt to make meaning of semantics breaks down under spooky deconstruction will come to you but only if you reply "..."

Our body and neural network is a big part of our human identity and behavior. It isn't just brain alone you dumbass.

machine with fleshy harddrive. a human is human when fully human
The brain is the person so it's just a human in a different shell.
What a stupid thread.

Yeah, nah, you're a cunt. A paraplegic barely has anything going on below the neck. They're pretty much cut off from the rest of their neural network.
Besides, it's all electrical impulses anyway, It makes no difference if they're from man made parts or biological ones.

A paraplegic has eyes, ears, nose, tongue and a throat at least you fucking moron.
>brain = whole head
this is a semantic question, not really an anthropology question
the real distinction between this is what should we, as the ones that give meaningful meaning to this being, consider it as
they created new terms in the language fitting for this criteria, so are cyborgs human
>>826341
So what? That's a tiny fraction of human's full neural network, and it's totally possible for a paraplegic to be deaf and blind.
The brain is the person. Sensory input does not make them any more or less human.

This is what transhumacucks actually believe
>>826428
The human experience involves the ability to walk, see and hear. Removing any aspects of human existence renders someone less human.

Brotherhood, institute or railroad?
