Agree? Disagree?
I haven't read the article, but, In my humble opinion, I think it's a "dangerous" point of view, because it will reduce everytihing to a "esthetical" judgement, wich I think is totally wrong, What kind of parameters you could use to say a face is deformed or not?, racist people use the "white , blonde, blue eyed, arian" esthetic to determine everybody who doesn't fit onto that, is "inferior", is like saying "this guy, Ludvig Van Beethoven, is deaf and because of that he couldn't enjoy or make music, so let's destroy his work because is 'against nature' and it will be 'healthier' for us, non-deafs". I think revultion comes from natural fear of being replaced by "something superior", and I'm not saying, robots are actually "superior" to human beings, but they could be in a future...
