The fact of the matter is, GITS, while it is a cartoon, it logicially provides the philosophical questions that I think we'll be facing in the next ten to fifteen years.
The main question that's raised is "How do you define a person?" or in a different way "At what point is there no line between man and machine?"
The line between man and machine, in the series, has been blurred so much so that we can no longer use traditional methods to define humanity. As such, we have to think of ways to distinguish humans from machines. This fact begs the question, "Or do we?" Do we attempt to redraw the line or do we let it blur into nonexistence?
I'm ranting, but I still believe it brings up relevant questions. As the tech gets more advanced, we'll be capable of doing more to improve our own living conditions(ex: working, sensitive limbs to parapalegics), and much like the series the line will begin to blur.
