Deus Ex Machina

Last year I played an RPG called Deus Ex Machina: Human Revolution. It focused on the socio-political aspects of human augmentation. One of the possible endings featured a growing baby in the womb with metal plug holes down its spine along with other machine like features. If technology develops enough to the point that we can splice human DNA with machinery, will this lead to an unexpected leap in human evolution and development. Will woman soon give birth to men that are existentially and physically half machine? What will become of the human psyche? What I am describing is very similar to "The Matrix" where the humans who are still plugged into the matrix have all those holes.
