How can we become friends with machines?

Abstract

You can’t deny that modern technologies largely determine our lives. But can prosthetics help us to become more productive, efficient, or even more intelligent? Whether to make heavy physical work easier or to relieve the joints. There is already a lot on the market and science is progressing more and more. But can “biohacking” actually get us to the state of being a “perfect” human being? What does “perfection” even mean and is it morally and ethically acceptable to create the “perfect human” using modern technologies? To get to the bottom of this topic, extensive research, and a survey with around 70 subjects were carried out. Additionally, a person who lives with a prosthetic leg for medical reasons was interviewed and asked about their opinion on physically “healthy” people wearing prosthetics to become more efficient and productive, so as many perspectives and opinions as possible could be provided in the research paper.
