Cybernectics vs Genetic Engineering
#11
RE: Cybernectics vs Genetic Engineering
Cybernetics will let you live almost anywhere.
Genetics is just tinkering with what we've got.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.

RE: Cybernectics vs Genetic Engineering
OH IDK dpb, we find life in unlikely places. Gen engi is tinkering with "what everythings got". Cyber is just duct taping an ipod to someones head..lol.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

With a cybernetic body you could live in space or in the clouds of Jupiter.
With genetic engineering you could maybe get gills.

Oh come now, you'd still have to install all of those parts individually on each human model, and I don't think you're giving biology it's fair shake when combined with human tinkering and general malfeasance...lol. Gen engi doesn't mean we have to take traits from other animals "as-is"...we can fuck with em. Say we want the gills..but not for breathing underwater.
