Medical Labs creating Cyborgs

A person whose body contains mechanical and/or electrical devices and whose abilities are greater than the abilities of normal humans is called a Cyborg. Connecting a human to a computer seems almost impossible to fathom. However, creating cyborgs through a brain-computer interface is possible. For example, analyze the similarities between a biological neural network in the human brain and a artificial neural network used in a computer. Both are similar and operate on principles that are the same. Hence biological intelligence (humans) and artificial intelligence (machines) can be combined to create cyborgs. Other areas such as genetic engineering, tissue engineering, augmented reality, quantum mechanics and living on other planets in space could make life as a cyborg more fascinating. Cyborg is the combination of two words (cybernetic and organism). Hence brain-machine interfaces can create cybernetic organisms.

Becoming cyborgs could be the solution for humans to become a mutiplanetary species. Cyborgs would have to be genetically and tissue engineered to resist the heat on Venus and the radiation on Mars. Medical Laboratories could be the factory floor for biomedical engineers to create cyborgs. Would you want to be a cyborg?
