Peter Scott Morgan is the world's first semi-automated human being
1-Who is the first human cyborg?
A scientist with motor neuron disease has become the world's first fully automated robot. Dr. Peter Scott Morgan, 61, was diagnosed with muscle wasting disease two years ago, but instead of accepting that he will die of the disease, he turns himself into a robot and extends his life.
"He wanted to push the boundaries of what science could achieve so he decided to go fully automated," Peter said. So after the death of Peter Scott Morgan this year, his robotic version is now known as Peter 2.0.
The world-renowned roboticist has undergone a series of complex and risky operations and scientists have created an avatar of his face, which he can use to show expressions if he loses muscle control. The avatar is also designed to respond using intelligent body language.
In his last days, he underwent the final procedure in his transition - where he underwent an operation on his vocal cords and for fear of losing his voice, he recorded as many words as he could in his voice to his robotic version in order to keep his voice present if he could not speak after the operation.
This procedure is called a laryngectomy. This separated Peter's esophagus (where food goes into the throat) and trachea (where the air goes down). The operation prevents him from choking on saliva, but it clears his larynx and he can no longer speak.
Dr. Scott Morgan described this latest action as the end of Peter 1.0 with a post on Twitter, writing: “This is my last post as Peter 1.0. Tomorrow I exchange my voice for potential decades of life as we complete the final medical procedure for my move to Full Cyborg, the month in which I was statistically told I was going to die. “I am not dying, I am transforming. Oh, how I love science. “The scientist had an operation to extend his life, but he will never use his biological voice again.
Dr. Scott Morgan, who is from the UK, added: "When I say 'cyborg', I don't mean just any ancient cyborg, you understand, but by far the most advanced human bionic ever created in 13.8 billion years. He is set to become the world's first complete cyborg. Almost everything about me will change irreversibly - body and brain.
“And I do not deny that all my physical interactions with the world will become automated. Naturally, my existing five senses will be improved. “But more importantly, part of my brain, and all of my outer personality, will soon be completely electronic — completely synthetic, and 'from then on, I'll be part hardware, part wet software, part digital, part analog.
And it doesn't stop there: I've gotten more upgrades from Microsoft. Mine is not just a version change. It is a transformation.
The scientist was exploring eye-tracking technology, to enable him to control multiple computers using only his eyes.
He also has an amazingly advanced wheelchair, and said on Twitter that it is "brilliantly designed" and allows him to stand, lie down and walk quickly. Dr. Scott Morgan's wheelchair allows you to stand, lie down and walk quickly.
,Peter Morgan passed away on Tuesday, June 2022. His death was announced by his family on Twitter with the following text: “To the astonishing rebel supporters of Peter: With a broken heart, I inform you all that Peter passed away peacefully surrounded by his family and those close to him. He was so proud of all of you supporters, and his vision to change the way people see disability.”
Supporters from all over the world flocked to social media to express their condolences and respect for the brave world.
2- motor neuron diseases
- Often called MND.
- It affects the nerves and leads to muscle weakness, which eventually leads to paralysis.
- The sense of touch, sight, smell, hearing, and taste are not affected.
- No one knows what causes it, although a few cases are familial, that is, it is inherited from a parent.
- It is not contagious.
- There is no cure. Treatment focuses on keeping the person with MND active and comfortable.
