Though I don’t think the entire team was aware of it at the time, the assumption that the human body is merely a vessel that can be traded in for a different, preferably more advanced model, is very much a post/trans-human assumption.
It is interesting to think about the post-humanists are also dualists just like in the olden days of Descartes. But then again if we listen to Searle that is not a problem, both theories are trying to say something true, problem is the categories and vocabulary (see matthew's post)
