RE: your web site
On your examples page you state:
“A computer cannot be intelligent or alive. Nor can a computer program.”
You may want to reconsider your position on this subject. I represent the National Association for
the Advancement of Computerized People. Our group defends people who have had part or all of
their bodies replaced by silicon or carbon subsystems. Our members started with people who had
artificial heart valves, silicon chip based pacemakers and has progressed to including people with
silicon based cochleae. Within a few years we anticipate the development of systems that can
replace portions of the human brain. According to our projections, by 2033 there will be
replacement parts for more than 90% of the human body. At that point, it will become more
important for anti-silicon and anti-diamond propaganda such as you printed above to be taken
down. Picture how someone with artificial legs, artificial arms, artificial retinas, artificial nose,
artificial ears and an artificial voice box feels when he reads your web site...
What if Ronald Reagan received a silicon brain implant that cured his Alzheimer’s disease
problem? Were he to come out in public and give a speech, would you be there telling him that
since part of his brain is based on silicon computer chips that he “cannot be intelligent or alive?”
Shame on you...
