Lol, thanks ALisa,

The whole living machine idea, I'm very fond of. As stated in I-robot, computers seem to have personalities, because of the random sequences of code, generated when processing data. Well, what are our personalities, then random sequences of code?
I do think we need to be careful with Artificial Intelligences - just in case. You never know what could come out of it.

I liked the alloy bit in you're post. It kinda reminded me of natural birth. Two gene sets combining into one - kinda like Alloys, I guess? Each with different properties which may help, or not help.

Flesh and Metal? Well, I guess our bones are only a solid compound. Agreed, its alive - but it doesn't have feeling, or blood circulation. Its as alive as our fingernails. It grows, but, isn't really live..
I know metal doesn't grow, but, it's kinda the same.. It would hold in the 'organs', and the flesh over it, give it structure, and protect it ect.

You're right there, too. That everything is natural, as it comes from the earth. I don't think that we should use the earths materials for our own personal gain, though.. Agreed, our current state of development needs things such as cars, but, for things such as nuclear power? Nuh-uh.
