I believe, in my lifetime human augmentation will become more common because of advances in technology. We might see advanced things like brain implants that help us think faster and/or remember more. These improvements could make our bodies and minds stronger, and I believe theyâll be especially useful for athletes or people who need to be highly focused in their work.
Personally, Iâm not sure if I would fully embrace the technology once it becomes available, but for now, Iâd be open to trying things that could improve physical recovery, especially as an athlete, or enhance brain function, as long as they are safe and donât raise major ethical concerns. I believe these types of advancements have the potential to help people live healthier and more fulfilling lives, especially when it comes to improving physical abilities or enhancing cognitive performance. As an athlete, recovering faster and staying in peak condition are essential, and technology that supports this could be a game-changer. Likewise, enhancing mental clarity or memory could be beneficial in many aspects of life, whether it’s academics, professional work, or everyday tasks. Of course, I think itâs important to carefully consider the risks and benefits of any new technology, ensuring it doesnât compromise personal well-being or lead to unintended consequences. For now, Iâd like to keep an open mind and explore what might be possible, as long as it is used responsibly and ethically.
But even if I am open to new technology I also have some doubts about it, especially when it comes to technology used to control peopleâs minds or emotions or extreme changes to the body or mind that go too far from being human. Also, I wouldnât want some people to have access to these enhancements while others donât, creating a ever bigger gap of inequality. Human augmentation should be about making lives better, not making it worse and creating new divides between people.
