Sažetak
The modern development of bionics and linking new technologies with the human nervous system or other biological systems, changes the human biological structure. Through technological progress and new systems, we design the world ; we act as creators of meaning in which organic and inorganic »nature«, humans, computers and machines integrate, making a single matrix entity—the cyborg. In the 21st century human enhancement techniques and other emerging technologies have promised to ‘help’ humans become »more than human, trying to create human beings with greatly enhanced abilities, to improve human mental and physical characteristics and capacities, to strive for progress and improvement of the human condition in which humans are in control of their own evolution. Here fundamental questions arise, such as: what it means to be human and what is (descriptive aspect) and what should be (normative aspect) a human being?
