Zombie

So some guy is out there, alive, yet without a pulse. Wow. I can't wait until I get to that point - alive without a pulse. Isn't there a word for something like that?? Oh wait, yes I saw them in some movies around October 31st... zombies!

Okay, I'm just a bit creeped out by this new development. It's a wonderful thing, sure, for the guy who's life is extended due to advances in technology, and yet... it doesn't feel right... How can anyone not operate without a pulse - a biological heart that is at the centre of all biological function? Are people that afraid of death that they would rather become cyborg?

Scientists are calling it a technological milestone. I'm calling it freaky! I hope I never have to make that decision - to have a completely technological organ transplanted in my body...
