Comedian, human auto-tune, and Hobart College alum James Rayhill joins Doug and Justin as they discuss the idea of transhumanism - the international and intellectual movement that aims to transform the human condition by developing and creating widely available technologies to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities. They grapple with the idea of downloading a conscience into a server and whether that would truly make someone immortal. They also try to discover when a person would would cease being human after they have received body modifications. Things are wrapped up in a throw-down of The Human Torch vs Storm.
