Super Soldiers .. .smart or just bots?

Ok, so we have a soldier that has capabilities beyond belief ... Armor, weapons, self sustaining capabilities, training, and most of all - other super soldiers. Where does the line cross from "Robot" to "human" if at all? Where does the next gen network slip out of reality and into a parallel fighting force? Are rogue Robots not far behind? What happens if networks are compromised - and they will be - where do these soldiers stand in terms of allegiance? What happens when one of these battle field vehicles is commandeered by enemy super soldiers?

Are they then capable of doing soldier work as humans? Or are we seeing the end of the human on the frontlines of the battle field? Drones already rule the sky and satellites have been "eyes" on the inside for some time.

When the future combat systems take over, who is in charge? Anarchy? Or Big Brother?

Creating new life forms - Last post in 2008.

We were just discussing the article by Live Science Editorial Director,
Robert Roy Britt, entitled Fear: Hobbyists Will Create New Life Forms.

We have been thinking about this for some time and have wondered when this dicussion would go mainsteam. With the mushrooming of nanotechnology and biotechnology, it can only be alluring to the garage set (people who like to experiment off the radar)to try new things ala Brave New World. Now we have a name for this: Biohacking.

Here's alink to the article,
