A research team led by renowned anthropologist Elena Sudarikova made a bold prediction: in two centuries, our world could be inhabited by humans with completely artificial bodies.
These beings, called supercyborgs, will have their senses completely replaced by technical devices. However, the implementation of this hypothesis will require significant scientific and technological progress and fundamental changes in society.
According to Professor Sudarikova, the rapid development of technology leads to the physical weakening of modern man. Desktop confinement and lack of physical activity destroy the joints, and a long time in front of a computer screen negatively affects vision.
She argues that human physical abilities are gradually declining, but advances in artificial materials, such as dental implants and heart valves, allow some of the lost functions to be restored.
An integral part of this hypothesis is whether a person will remain a person if he replaces all his organs except the brain.
The scientist emphasizes that an organism without senses will not be able to communicate effectively with the outside world.
Connecting the brain to digital devices can change the nature of human thinking and its ability to experience emotionally and intuitively. Sudarikova emphasizes that the future of these technologies is ambiguous and depends on many factors, including natural, economic and political variables.
The possibility of the emergence of supercyborgs is causing a lively debate in the scientific world and society at large.
Some researchers believe that this evolution can accelerate human development and overcome physical and intellectual limitations.
However, there are also concerns about the possible negative effects of such technologies. Who will control the development and use of artificial organs and devices? What ethical and social challenges will arise as a result of this evolution?
The scientist calls for discussion and conscious regulation of biotechnology development to ensure its safe and ethical use in the future.
She emphasizes the need to carefully research and consider all potential risks before taking responsibility for such drastic changes.
