Provocation: The Future is looking good – Conway Mothobi

The future is looking good. Upcoming developments in body enhancement and body enrichment will provide us with sophisticated cyborg humano-tools. For example with advances in stem cell research will be able to clone very little people (25mm ie 1 inch tall and 4 gm in weight * you would need 5 little people to match the weight of a lab mouse).
With this technology we will be able to go further in our space exploration. We will be able to launch *manned* missions in spacecraft the size of a drinks can. These astronauts will have highly efficient bodies * they will be able to withstand very low pressures, they will have a very good tolerance of very low temperatures eg holding dry nice at -78 deg Celsius; and tolerance of very high temperatures eg drinking boiling soybean cooking oil 300 deg Celsius. Other impacts will be the growth of cells in regular beings eg straight forward *grow your own body parts* * very useful in transgender surgery, breast augmentation. Prosthetic enhancements and enrichments will allow people to move more easily. Some of these developments will become the basis for a movement to ban the Olympics and other able bodied sport as we know it (football, tennis etc) and recast the Special Olympics (Paralympics)in its place as the standard Olympics.
