No, genetic makeup does not define a human, but it sets limits to what one can achieve. Miranda has higher limits in certain areas than other humans, but what she makes of it is left to her. That "human spirit and will to persevere" can do miraculous things, but it won't let us go over the limits set by our genetic makeup. And of course, genetic modification won't easily affect things that are defined by our culture, like values we embrace. Miranda is, indeed, a wonderful example of that. She is physically improved, but there can be no know that she is human. Wouldn't we all want to be like that?Kabraxal wrote...
I don't think humanity is defined by the genetic characteristics such as Shep and Miri are physically defined though. That is one of the reason's why I like Miri so much. She is a wonderful example of a person who seeks to define themselves not by their body or their specific enhancements, but by their deeds and their emotions. In that respect, Miri and Shepard could have an intense impact on the human race because they signify that the "improvements" are not the true answer to greatness... it is the human spirit and the will to persevere.
I guess it comes back to our mind over matter disagreement. I don't think the body is the ultimate limitation. While in normal conditions it defines our upper limits, that can be broken by sheer strength of will.
And for the last question, if you are asking about being modified: hell know. I'll take my natural body over genetic enhancement every time. As for strength of will or particular value judgement: I think most people wish they had such strength.
