WILL GO
A STEP FURTHER,
merging the organic body
with non-organic devices such as bionic hands,
artificial eyes, or millions of nano-robots that will navigate
our bloodstream, diagnose problems and repair damage. Such a cyborg
could enjoy abilities far beyond those of any organic body? For example, all parts
of an organic body must be in direct contact with one another in order to function! If an elephant's brain is
in India, its eyes and ears in China and its feet in Australia, then thìs elephant is most probably dead, and
even if it is in some mysterious sense alive, it cannot see, hear or walk? A cyborg, in contrast, could exist
in numerous places at the same time! A cyborg Doctor could perform emergency surgeries in Tokyo, in
Chicago ànd in a space station on Mars, without ever leaving her Stockholm office?!! Shé will NÉÉD only
a fast Internet connection, and a few pairs of bionic eyes and hands... On second thoughts, why pairs?
Why not quartets? Indeed, even those are actually superfluous! Why should a cyborg Doctor hold a
surgeon's scalpel by hand, when she could connect her mind directly to the instrument? This may sound
like science fiction, but it's already a reality. Monkeys have recently learned to control bionic hands & feet
disconnected from their bodies, through electrodes implanted in their brains! Paralyzed patients are able
to move bionic limbs or operate computers by the power of thought alone...
