Does natural life still count if a person is using an artificial heart?

What about if they have augmentation that allows them to read and interpret books really fast?

It’s not an easy question to answer…

"But what if a person was so thoroughly replaced with robot parts to be just like a computer" is just "if my grandma had wheels, she would be a truck, therefore it's not so easy to say that cars aren't allowed to drive inside the old folks home".

People and software are different things, and it makes total sense that there should be different rules for what they can and cannot do.

Your first question doesn't change the answer, and your second question depends on a premise that isn't real.

Natural life is plenty simple in this context.
