   * //While cybernetic implants themselves can sometimes be relatively robust, they still attach to nerves, flesh and/or bone.  You may be able to override the sensors in your artificial hand in order to crush a cue ball, but you cannot pick up that truck/train/vending machine.//   * //While cybernetic implants themselves can sometimes be relatively robust, they still attach to nerves, flesh and/or bone.  You may be able to override the sensors in your artificial hand in order to crush a cue ball, but you cannot pick up that truck/train/vending machine.//

   * //Cybernetic technology, while impressive in some cases, has not advanced to the stage where it can replace damaged/missing brain tissue or otherwise enhance or replace the brain's functions.  Likewise, the contents of your brain cannot be uploaded, destructively or otherwise, into a computer.  Brain death is still permanent at this time.//   * //Cybernetic technology, while impressive in some cases, has not advanced to the stage where it can replace damaged/missing brain tissue or otherwise enhance or replace the brain's functions.  Likewise, the contents of your brain cannot be uploaded, destructively or otherwise, into a computer.  Brain death is still permanent at this time.//
