Philosophically speaking, morality can be discussed on so many levels, but I'm not sure how they can justify altering the way our brain sends and receives messages through all sorts of medications (scientifically tested without any help from prayers or holy water/oil), but be against artificial addition to our bodies, which are not necessarily changing our chemical make up... as far as I understand, it isn't altering our DNA in any way (which is really too bad. It would be very interesting if we could integrate into our DNA better vision, memory, stronger muscles or whatever it may be that evolution is not able to provide for us at the time. It would be interesting to see how breeding with partners with altered DNA would evolve from one generation to another)

Cheers!
