Ever tried Soylent Greens?

Ah, okay. I've heard about the movie but never seen it, so I didn't recognize the summary. Thanks!

Re the Silent Green remark: If I remember correctly, one segment of Cloud Atlas - the Son-Mi story - used a similar device, but in an even grimmer world.
The attitude of AI towards corpses need not be problematic, especially in a universe, like QC, where we have a benevolent Singularity. Especially since at the moment we don't have any indication that they have a use for actual human bodies. Now, if e had an indifferent, or down right evil class of AI, with a use for the humans, that would be different.
Think of the Matrix, though the originally intended use of human beings as distributed processors makes more sense than as batteries.
I do wonder, though, how AI's attitude towards bodies and chassis influences any potential religious movement that might emerge among them.
Is it cold in here?:
So much human religion centers around our mortality. The synthetics will come up with something very different.
