Or at least accept bionic implants?
I'd personally be happy to abandon this sack of meat called a body. Also it's not a question if but when this will be possible. Computer hardware is quickly accelerating to match and then overtake the brain's computation qualities. While the human brain is only limited to using neural nets to do thinking with computer hardware can utilize recursion, evolutionary algorithms along with better neural nets to think. Also, knowledge about the human brain is also expanding at a steady rate. It's interesting to note that a couple of decades ago doctors said the brain should never be touched, but yet we are now successfully preforming brain surgery.
You have to admit the human body is very fragile, and without our technology we'd probably be extinct already. Therefore it's our destiny to become a part of the same technology that sustains us. Also, most of the problems that exist in our world today greed, hate, war, poverty, etc. can be attributed to aspects of human nature that are hard to change as long as we remain in a human body since evolution programmed those traits in us in the first place.
Our technology may not be perfect, but let's note that most of the evils that are associated with technology are caused by human nature misusing it and not by the technology itself. Technology is becoming better and more reliable as time passes. Also to be noted, while the human body has remained more or less the same over its existence and our intelligence hasn't increased since the beginning of civilization (just our knowledge.) With our biological limitations removed, we can realize our higher potential, and keep reaching even higher potentials.
This is our future, we must seize it or perish.
