The human population in developed regions has become very accustomed to living beyond our means. We consume more of the planets resources than can be replenished (and some that can never be), and yet we have millions of people who are still left under nourished and with unsustainable incomes. So if bionic beings would be created to replace human beings in different job roles, I would not support that.
Those in under developed areas are challenged by not having enough education and resources. Working to educate and empower communities, starting with the most prominent individuals in that community will create a more sustainable future. I do not really see how bionic beings would strengthen our global society, because that happens with individuals themselves.
If bionic beings were created for military purposes, I can see the violence getting exponentially greater. When you take out the human element of war, you begin to lose touch with the tragic relationship with it, and thus, become more tolerant of it.
As you can see, I am initially completely resistant to the idea of bionic beings. Feel free to educate me.
I think of drones as bionic beings, they fly around around on the other end of a joy stick held by a human hand or coordinates typed by fingers on a key board. This for me is not that really any different than a chip that was made by man in a bionic being. Prosthesis are the second step of drones becoming beings. It will be interesting to how man's consciousness evolves in this matter, as long as war is prevalent things will remain the same.
