Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex [Thought]

I thought I would do something different for a blog because this is really an intresting topic to talk about. For those of you who don't know Ghost in the shell is a show about futuristic cyberspace in which humans are cybernetic (basically robots with artifical skin that makes them look identical to humans). It is an advantage because they can easily have direct access to the internet through there technological enhancements (Because just about every electronic device that is popular among techies has to be internet driven for some reason). And if there is no violence people could live forever because people cannot get diseases.

Now my question is mostly composed about the morality of being human because if our body is made artifically then does that still make us human? Do we start calling ourselves something else? Because the only thing that is organic is our brain. And in the show it also has robots called tochkomas ( botched spelling by the way) that interit humanlike traits through their advanced artificial intelligence programing. The tachkomas behave, act, and even mimic human characteristics. They are curious, smart and self sacrificing. So how do we distinguish the difference of being human and being pure?
