If we have the ability to genetically engineer humans or fuse them with CPU's, then I don't see a reason for having class.

Imagine being able to download "doctor.exe" or "basketball player.exe". You can literally be anything you want and be on equal footing with everyone else.

Class as we know today only exists because of biological reasons. Someone who is born without limbs or half a brain can never move up in society. But once we can tweak DNA or give ourselves robo-parts, then that barrier is removed.

It reminds me of Star Wars. Darth Vader is technically a burnt up old man, but because of his suit, he's able to lead an Empire.

Shouldn't be a hard question to answer if you're here in good faith.

You might as well ask me questions like would I accept a blood transfusion everytime I survive a car accident?

The obvious answer is it's medicine, I'm not afraid of it.

I remember writing an article like this on Reddit way back. Similar almost word for word actually.
