    Bionic Technology: A First Hand Experience

    We know what bionic technology has done, and will continue to do, for those suffering from amputations and serious injuries. But imagine a world in which bionic technology is so powerful and effective that it becomes appealing to the masses. What are the ethical implications of our changing perceptions of the human body, and who should decide when replacing body parts with mechanical technology is the appropriate answer? Bertolt Meyer has the answers.

    Dr. Meyer
    Senior Research Associate, Social & Business Psychology, University of Zurich
