A machine-human hybrid would be ideal. This will happen in the not to distant future. Memory chips will supplement our minds and give us instant knowledge as to the best route to take in moral or physical tasks.
As an industrial engineer I can see this happening right now. As the tower of Babel was being built God said: (Paraphrased) "nothing will be impossible for mankind now because they have one language and they will become like "us". Let us confuse their language." Now, in computers, we once again have a common language. The only thing that hinders man is not ability but imagination.
