Eliminating the soft and frail human flesh and replacing it with more endurable materials is the only way for our species to survive. Sickness and disease will end us all otherwise. Becoming machine is the next logical step in our evolution.

Makes perfect sense when you think about it. Mankind has almost evolved to the point where we have the ability to shape how we further evolve ourselves. A marriage between mind and machine is inevitable. The meat is useless and is quite frankly becoming a bothersome nuisance.
