Pets should never be allowed to roam free in a moving vehicle
A small dog jumped into the lap of a man driving an RV, distracting him enough to cause him to cross the centerline of a Wisconsin highway and crash into a car carrying Boy Scouts on a rock-climbing trip. Two people were killed as a result. Letting animals roam free inside a moving vehicle is absolutely unacceptable. It's not cute, it's not funny, and it's not harmless.

Which suggests that it might be easier for us (psychologically) to accept bionic adaptations in the long run than our Terminator nightmares suggest. People who have been blind for decades are regaining sight with the help of prosthetics and replacement hands and arms have arrived, too.

As that time approaches, we're going to have to re-evaluate our senses of things like mortality.
