Social Problems

New, faster smaller digital glasses, or new Nanocoated solar panels are unlikely to cause any social problems and may receive significant support. The issues arise when upgrading, or changing the body. Black Market commodities could arise if opponents object to human testing. Social issues could also arise when more fully artificial humans change their appearance or functions. If this happens, there may be reverse discrimination on those who have not undergone similar changes not only on those who elect changes. We already have artificial limbs and prosthetic devices, but they are not as advanced as they could be. Other social issues like bombings of Artificial Enhancement Clinics could occur; similar to the bombings of Abortion clinics. The fragile ecosystems of the world could face further strain due to the advancement of medicine, and the further increased life spans.
