Medical technology - currently still mainly focused on helping people with disabilities - is moving fast. The fusion of man and machine is no longer something from a science fiction film. Cyborgs take it one step further: the ultimate physical amalgamation of man and machine, with the aim of expanding the capacities of man. The first cyborgs have already crossed the limits of their human capabilities. They are in our homes, in workshops and in tattoo shops, with simple equipment and a do-it-yourself approach. They are still considered eccentrics, but in the future we may look at them as pioneers. In Cyborgs among us we are introduced to a number of these explorers and to the groundbreaking research in the field of medical technology. The social and ethical dilemmas of a cyborg society are also highlighted. medische technologie. Maar ook de sociale en ethische dilemma's van een cyborgsamenleving worden belicht.
