BiologicalBacterial Therapeutics Addresses genetic engineering in relation to Sci-Fi and Transhumanism. Also, looks at the implications and ethics of such engineering. An examination of the genre of the science-fiction anime genre ‘mecha,' specifically shows like Transformers, Gundam Wing, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Mecha are large robotic machines with degrees of human traits ranging from human pilots to human machine hybrids that bleed. Common motifs in this genre are explored and offer insights into the human relationship with this violent technology. A brief look at how the military is attempting to understand how sharks interact with their environment in order to use neural implants to manipulate the shark's movement.
Military Cybernetic Enhancements and Soldiers An overview of how the military is constantly working on new technologies for their soldiers and how these weapons increase the power of the military and give troops the edge that has allowed them to perform well.
How steroids, as performance enhancers, operate as cyborgian elements in professional sports.
A look into artificial taste and taste senors split up into four sections: biological function of the tongue; causes of loss of taste; the electronic tongue; purposes of its development.
Explores the workings of brain-computer interface connections with a look at both non-invasive technologies as well as invasive technologies that do everything from aim to restore function to disabled persons, to improving upon or augmenting existing functions.
An attempt to answer questions surrounding prosthesis in sports as well as separate the spiritual idea of sport from ethics as we explore the cyborgization of sports today.
A look at how in the last few decades, advances in prenatal technologies have been designed to manage infertility and reduce the risk for genetic diseases. The coming of the cyborg is now at the level of the embryo.
Our identity in the real world is molded by our sex, age, race and other factors well out of our control, but online we can chose to strip ourselves of these factors (or keep them intact) as we please. Gender is one facet of identity that people will commonly change online.
A look at prenatal care and the use of technology in the gestation period.
A quick look into the advances made in the field of rebreathers and other technological advances in this relatively new area of interest.
An explanation of medical cyborgs, a history of restorative technologies, and how restorative and enhanced cyborgs are at a critical point in medicine.
