I think it's a matter of choice.
I think we will have the ability to completely change/augment our
bodies before we replace them.
I like having a body, but there are things I would change if I
could, having a nanoprocessor for augumented brainpower is just one
example.
I think one of the future aesthetics might be who can be the most
augmented and still appear human. See Natasha's Primo page.
Back in the high school days everyone was into building cars that
looked like racecars, I built mine to look perfectly normal, and
outrun the rest...
