with advancements in technology, higher affluency, and lots of soldiers losing limbs, there are lots of people getting artifical limbs and such. even old people are getting new knees and hips. they can replace a good number human body parts right now, so here is my question...

you get an artificial arm. ok, then a leg. ok, then a heart, a hip, other limbs, etc etc. lets say we have the technology and ability to replace everything on a human. how much can you replace until you are so artificial you aren't human? at what point do you lose your "humanity'?

what if you replace everything but the brain? what if you replace only the limbs and brain? how much of a cyborg can you be until you are no longer a human?
