If you want to rely on rationalization, that's fine by me, but just know this: language is determined by consensus of the people; and the people have spoken...

un?nat?u?ral Audio pronunciation of unnatural ( P ) Pronunciation Key (n-nchr-l)
adj.

1. In violation of a natural law.
2. Inconsistent with an individual pattern or custom.
3. Deviating from a behavioral or social norm: an unnatural attachment.
4. Contrived or constrained; artificial: smiled in an unnatural manner.
5. In violation of natural feelings; inhuman.

You haven't yet heard that "the people" are generally not rational or logical?

Is a bee-hive natural? Yes, right? Because its made by bees instead of man. What's the difference between a bee-hive or a bird's nest and a straw-hut built by primitive humans, or even a large steel home full of fully-automated electronic equipment?

I've told you already that it looks like I had the "official" definition wrong. I will see if I can find an email address to Webster's and question this paradox. All I ask is that you admit there is an implied black & white difference between mankind and other animals that doesn't seem to make sense in this context.

I think it would be more plauzable for people to just get bionic appendages and organs in the future to sustain themselves. We could eventually become androids.

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know,
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection,
Is it all you want it to be?

Good point - we're already becomming cyborgs with all these electronic devices we carry around :smile: GPS systems, satellite phones, pocket computers.... We're already deep into yesterday's sci-fi.

Hey I am wired up already :grin:, but seriously there is some guy who has decided to attach some type of transmitter/recevier  to the base of his spine and the same to his wife so that they can transmitt feelings and stuff. There is also this guy in the uk who had an implant in his arm so that the doors of his lab open when he approaches and it knows it is him.

Check this link out I am buying mine today :

Implants For humans
