Narrator in “Between Life and Machine”

The Difference between humans and robots is obvious to anyone. There are clear differences between living and non-living entities. But what about the differences between humans and cyborgs? This is not a problem either. A cyborg is someone who has superhuman abilities due to mechanical systems that have been incorporated into his body. But how do we begin to classify these bio androids? Actually this gives rise to ethical problems that become progressively complicated. If one were to classify a bio android it would have to be thought of as a life form. Because a cyborg is considered a person a bio android, in which machinery is combined with flesh, must also be classified as a person. However most humans scoff at such ideas. And insist these hybrid lifeforms can never be regarded as humans. This is because humans were created by God. But androids were created solely by humans. Their justification is that we humans have souls that live on. But androids live only in the physical plane without any possibility of life in the here-after. However the existence of a creator God, and even the soul for that matter, has yet to be discovered and proven beyond the shadow of a doubt by any established organization within the scientific community. And so the classification of bio android lifeforms remains unclear.
