Once this technology is cheap enough so that anyone could switch body at whim, I can imagine a splintering in society: those who relish the idea of trying on new physical identities and even getting creative in the process, those who are strictly in it for the beauty, and those who refuse to wear anything but the dna with which they were born.

And, now that I think a little deeper, what does that do to dna? Does it become simply a designer mechanism, a Photoshop of the future, instead of a helix that holds the mysteries of our inner and outer nature?

Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing this link.
