<P><JC>LIVING WITH BIO-MODIFICATION - PART 1</JC>
<P>
<P>Telorix used to be named Jason Pauling. He legally changed his name after a year of massive bio-modifications. He has visited several clinics, and his DNA profile is now strikingly different then his "origin set" of DNA. "We need to keep this, just in case something bad happens." Telorix said, holding a vial and a chip in his padded hand. He grins, showing his pointed teeth, as his tail shifts behind him. His hair and skin layers were replaced with cat-like fur, his leg bones were broken and re-set and his feet elongated, his skull changed, and many more internal and external body systems were modified via gene therapy and bio-mechanical augmentation over the past two years.

<P>Because of the radical changes, Telorix can no longer be considered a human being scientifically. However, as a biomorphic sentient organism, he still has the rights that non-modified humans do. The Sentient Organism Rights plan is being debated in the administration. The point of debate is how to ensure rights of cybernetically augmented humans, genetic modified humans, and biomorphic sentient organisms.
