Are you more machine now than man, and if so, are you twisted and evil?

(I had to move this from the top level as it's not a q)

I edited a TV show about this - it's quite fascinating. (There's no link that I can find, but it was a kids show for CBBC - UK). Interestingly, the girl in it had no idea that she was unusual - when her dad said she should get her hair cut she wondered how her friends would recognise her at school.

Edit: found the link!

The way we tried to explain it was to imagine looking at a field full of ducks and trying to identify each one by it's face - the human brain isn't designed to do that so they all look roughly the same. There seems to be a racial element to this as well - a westerner might say that all oriental faces look similar, but it's actually due to this part of the brain not being tuned to the oriental type of face - and vice versa.
