Cyborg

Neil Harbisson is the world’s first legally recognized cyborg. He has an antenna implanted into his skull that gives him access to something he was born without: the ability to perceive colour. It’s a skill he has been successfully honing for nearly 13 years: crafting pieces of art, symphonies, and building his very own ‘Cyborg’ foundation in its honour. For governments, his case raises important questions on what it means to be human: from administrative issues like, for example, the issuing of a passport ID to more substantial ethical and regulatory questions.
