Sažetak
In this paper we provide a description of possible future cyborgisation and give examples of different levels of human body cyborgisation. Modern man is gradually disappearing as a natural being and increasingly turning into an artificial creature “cyborg” that leads into the question, what will ultimately remain human in a human body? In which direction can we expect further development of cyborgisation and where are boundaries that will strictly divide man from a cyborg in the near future? In order to protect man from the omnipotence of technology and its unethical application is necessary to establish cyborgoethics that would determine the implementation of an artificial boundary in the natural body.
