Previously, the main goal of a person was his own knowledge in the process of searching for his purpose in this world. Now the main dream of mankind has become the belief in the reality of eternal life and the possibility of extending its healthy existence as much as possible, to challenge nature itself and periodically replace worn-out parts of the human body, or even the entire body shell. Modern science promises all this in the near future, but what price is a person willing to pay for it. After all, everything in Mother Nature is balanced, and therefore any intervention and adjustment of the living mechanism inevitably entails unpredictable chaos, and maybe physical and mental deformities.
After a series of medical experiments, for the first time in the USSR in the early decades of the last century, physiologist Sergei Bryukhonenko demonstrated a resurrected amputated dog's head, using the world's first heart-lung machine. A little later, followers of Bryukhonenko successfully performed the first heart, liver and lung transplants on dogs.
Further research pushed the emergence of the science of transplantation, which ultimately led to the possibility of resuscitation of a person during clinical death. Transplantologists can already replace, in the course of now standard operations, such diseased human vital organs as kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, blood vessels, corneas of the eyes, in general, almost any organ. And all this thanks to the advances in vascular surgery and the latest neuronanotechnology.
With the development of the capabilities of modern science and technology, many questions arise. Are our body organs and brain self-worth and self-sufficient? Who controls all human organs and systems, including the nervous, circulatory, and neural? Who or what ultimately controls the brain itself? Whether the body is a simple accumulation of cells or a smart system with a complex metabolism, with well-oiled mechanisms of hormone secretion, the circulatory system, digestion and respiration, reproductive and immune systems, it is impossible to list everything at once. What nature are human thoughts - physical or metaphysical?
A car by itself cannot go anywhere, it is controlled by the driver, and the human body is controlled by the soul. How, then, from this position to treat organ transplantation, because replacing a worn out heart with someone else's healthy one, together with a new organ, a particle of the soul of a forced donor is transferred to the recipient.
Our planet is inhabited by more than seven and a half billion earthlings, but there is no one among them with the same fingerprints, just as there are no two identical DNA in the whole world. Each person is unique, naturally, not only in body, but in his soul.
Today, new technologies facilitate the connection of the natural intelligence of the human brain using neurointerface systems with artificial intelligence. There are already new opportunities and technologies that allow splicing individual neuronal fibers of the spinal cord. Today doctors can easily suture blood vessels, augment and replace vertebrae and spinal discs, but modern physicians cannot do anything about the spinal cord, with its neurotissue. Therefore, the statements of the Italian surgeon Sergio Canavero that he is ready to perform a human head transplant from a weak body to a healthy strong body already in the near 2017 can still be considered a scientific bluff.
Bionic prostheses, which give sensations close to those experienced by a living limb, have become a new way out of this situation for the disabled. The human brain controls the bionic prosthesis directly through nerve impulses and chips implanted in muscles, bypassing the keyboard and display of the electronic intermediary device.

Modern medical science makes it possible for special patients with tetraplegia (quadriplegia), that is, with partial or complete paralysis of all four limbs (paralysis of both legs and arms), completely immobilized, but with preserved brain function, the power of thought to control wheelchairs for movement. In general, this technology of contactless control is the future of our civilization in all spheres of human activity. For example, even in the future life, for example, both hands are busy and there is no way to answer a phone call, at this moment, by the power of thought, the brain will generate the energy of neurons and send a directed control signal to a special robotic arm, which will answer the call and bring the phone to a human ear for conversation.
With the help of a special neurocommunicator, already today paralyzed people, deprived of the ability to speak, are able to print short messages on the display of this electronic device to their relatives only by the power of their thoughts. Are electronic cyborgs from science fiction books and films really coming into our lives? Scientists treat this almost as a fait accompli and argue that the integration of the human brain with artificial computer intelligence is inevitable. The prototype of cyborgs can be considered the already existing androids - self-learning humanoid robots. In the arsenal of human assistants, there are already android nannies, android orderlies, android soldiers, android porters and even a kodomoroid TV presenter, in general, robots with a narrow specialization, sharpened for certain types of work and actions.
The process went even deeper and already affects human embryos at the genetic level. Geneticists are planning a third-party intervention in living cells and the necessary correction not only for growing biological organs, but also for the purpose of creating a new race of supermen from a test tube. Many minds in the scientific world warn that genetic experiments in this direction will entail irreversible changes in the biological species of a person.
Despite technological progress and modern informational capabilities, scientists of the entire world community need to adhere to that invisible border of the creator, which cannot be crossed so as not to violate the original nature of man.
