Conclusions for Future.This book presents argumentation for an evolutionary continuity between human persons and cyborg persons, based on the thought of Joseph Margolis.

She argues that new kinds of embodiment should not make acquiring the status of the person impossible, and different kinds of embodiments may be accepted socially and culturally. She proposes we consider ethical problems of agency and responsibility, critically approaching vitalist posthuman ethics, and rethinking the metaphysical standing of normativity, to create space for possible cyborgean ethics that may be executed in an Extended Republic of Humanity.Palgrave Studies in the Future of Humanity and its SuccessorsHuman beingsEffect of the environment onHuman beingsEffect of the environment on.304.2Alcaraz Aleksandra Łukaszewicz1228239MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483900603321Are cyborgs persons2851397UNINA
