Summary/Abstract: Bioethical (neuroethical) perspectives seem to be the main reason for the development of cyborg technology today. While the technology is here and has proven useful in treating serious illnesses or has simply broadened the capabilities of some people, allowing reality to be perceived in other ways, not much attention is paid to this area. The fear of dire consequences, inherent to any era of technological revolution, oscillates between a conservative spirit, rejecting changes, and a feeling of deep responsibility not to destructively alter the humanism of our species.
