prankster writes "News.com has an interesting story on among other things collective minds and nanotechnology based on the 405 page report "Converging Technologies for Improving Human Performance: Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information Technology, and Cognitive Science," from the National Science Foundation and the Department of Commerce. A quote: "The human body will be more durable, healthy, energetic, easier to repair and resistant to many kinds of stress, biological threat and (the) aging process." The story even mentions our favourite enemy - the Borgs."

    "Begging the question" is a logical fallacy and means building your reasoning on the conclusion you're trying to prove.

    Try "inviting" or "suggesting" the question.

    Not a grammar nazi, just that it's the third time I see it today.
