Thanks for your interesting comments.
Today, the world of cyborgs is not yet large.
A man driving his car. This set (man+car) is not a cyborg.
A man speaking in a cell phone. This set (man+phone) is not a cyborg.
An aboriginal native hunting with bow and arrow. This set
(aboriginal+bow/arrow) is not a cyborb.
I'm writing in my computer. This set (me+computer) is not a cyborb.
I'm waiting for colaborators to write the *Universal Declaration of Machine
Rights*.
Regards,
Jorge Antunes

>> Hi,
>>
>> I think the world of cyborgs is very limited.
>> Cyborgs are merely organisms with natural systems that have received
>> artificial machines.
>> Cyborgs are people who use cybernetic technology to repair or overcome the
>> physical constraints of their bodies. This is very few. This is nothing.
>> I'm waiting for the moment when machines will receive natural systems, to
>> overcome the mental contraints of their mechanisms.
>> For instance, a transplantation of a heart to a robot; a transplantation
>> of
>> a human brain to a machine.
>>
>> I like machines. I collect, I love and I conserv all kind of machines,
>> from
>> my old type writers until my old gramophones, theremins, tape recorders
>> (General, Grundig, Phillips, Revox).
>> Now, I'm searching a Wire-Recorder, for an experiment (can be a
>> Webster-Chicago).
>>
>> I dream with the writing of a full text for a *Universal Declaration of
>> Machine Rights*. The UDMR would be dopted and proclaimed universally.
>>
>> I invite people interested in this project.
>>
>> Awaiting for reactions,
