What exactly do you mean by 'simulating how they wish they could be'?

It's quirky, it's weird, and in many cases it's outright kinky, but it says as much about the capabilities of humanity as it does about the attempts to transcend it. We're just a group that, given half the chance, might want to shed the mantle of humanity entirely.

For that matter, we also call into question what exactly 'humanity' is--is it body, or is it mind? If it is mind, what sort of mind is human, and what sort is not?

And, of course, we also call into question the value of humanity.
