Cyborgs: kanaka a mīkini paha?

ʻOiai e noʻonoʻo ana ka mea kaiapuni i ka honua e make i ka wā e hiki mai ana ma muli o nā hui aila, ua wehewehe ka physicist a me ka mea kākau ʻo Louis Del Monte i ka wā e hiki mai ana i hoʻokahi huaʻōlelo: cyborgs. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ʻaʻole hahai ka manaʻo o Del Monte no ka wā e hiki mai ana i ka mea kaulana ʻO ka wehewehe Hollywood kahi o nā cyborgs a me ke kanaka i ke kaua pau ʻole no ka hopena o ka honua. Manaʻo ʻo Del Monte e ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka wā e hiki mai ana me nā cyborgs a ʻae ʻia e nā kānaka ma mua o ka wā e hiki mai ana i hana ʻia e Hollywood.  

I loko o kahi ʻatikala i paʻi ʻia e ka lālā CBS o Wakinekona, hōʻike ʻo Monte, "E hoʻohālikelike ʻia ka naʻauao kanaka ma 2040, a i ʻole ma mua o 2045." Ma mua o ka hiki ʻana mai o ka lā hoʻokolokolo, manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo Monte ʻo ke ʻano o ka lilo ʻana o ke kanaka i cyborg ma muli o, "ʻO ka hoʻowalewale ... [o] ka make ʻole." Manaʻo pū ʻo Monte e hoʻololi nā kānaka i nā lālā hemahema me nā mea mechanical. ʻO ka hana aʻe, ʻo ia ka hoʻopili ʻana i kēia mau lālā a me nā ʻāpana hana ʻē aʻe i ka pūnaewele, e ʻae ana i ka ʻike loea hou loa ma ka pūnaewele e hui pū me ka naʻauao kanaka.  

Ma kāna hōʻike CBS, manaʻo ʻo Monte "e hui mālie nā mīkini me nā kānaka, e hana ana i nā hybrids kanaka-machine a ʻoi aku ka ʻike kanaka ma mua o 2040 a i ʻole ma mua o 2045."  

Eia naʻe, paʻa kēia kumumanaʻo groundbreaking i kekahi mau nīnau i pane ʻole ʻia e waiho nei i kekahi mau pilikia. No ka laʻana, hiki i ka ʻikepili ke loaʻa ākea e hoʻopili i kēia mau cyborgs i a mai ka pūnaewele me ke kelepona ʻole? E pōʻino anei ke kaumaha o kēia ʻenehana a pau?  

No ka poʻe makemake e lilo i mea kūlohelohe piha, he mea weliweli paha kēia manaʻo. ʻAʻole pono ka naʻauao e ʻike i ka ulu ʻana o ka manaʻoʻiʻo ma waena o ka poʻe i hoʻonui ʻia a me ka poʻe ʻaʻole.   

Hoʻopili pinepine ʻia ke kiʻi kaulana o kahi cyborg me Robo Cop a i ʻole nā ​​​​superheroes ʻē aʻe o 1980; akā naʻe, ua wehewehe mua ʻia kahi cyborg ma ke ʻano he mea moʻokalaleo me nā mea kūlohelohe a me nā mea ʻelua biomechatronic ʻāpana. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia kēia wehewehe ʻana i ka makahiki 1960 i ka manaʻo o ka hoʻohui ʻana i ke kanaka a me ka mīkini i ʻike ʻole ʻia e pono ai nā cyborgs he moʻolelo.  

Eia naʻe, ua loli ka wehewehe ʻana o cyborg me ka manawa, e hoʻohuli i ka moʻolelo i ʻoiaʻiʻo. A ʻike ʻia ʻo cyborg i kēia manawa, "He kanaka i kōkua ʻia a hilinaʻi paha kāna hana kino ma luna o kahi mīkini a uila paha." 'O ia ho'i, ua mana'o 'ia he cyborg kekahi me ke kōkua ho'olohe. No laila, ua manaʻo mua ʻia nā poʻe maʻi like ʻole he cyborgs.  

A laila aia ʻo Jonathon Thiessen, kahi cyborg o kēia wā. "Ua maopopo iaʻu ua ʻoi aku ka waiwai o koʻu poʻo ma mua o ka mālama ʻana o kekahi poʻe," wahi a Thiessen i kāna wehewehe ʻana i nā ʻāpana like ʻole i hui pū ʻia me ia. Me ka hui pū ʻana o ka mea hoʻoheheʻe metala ma kona ʻāʻī ma muli o kahi māwae pallet a me kekahi mau paipu plastik a me ka hoʻokomo ʻana i kahi kōkua hoʻolohe hiki ke kūpono, ua kūpono ʻo Thiessen i ka wehewehe ʻana o kahi cyborg.  

Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻo Thiessen he mea ʻoi aku ʻo ia ma mua o ke kanaka maʻamau a ʻo ka manaʻo o ka hoʻopili ʻana i ka pūnaewele a i ʻole nā ​​​​ʻike akamai ʻaʻole kūpono iā ia. "I ka 12 o koʻu makahiki, ua hoʻokomo ʻia kaʻu mea kōkua hoʻolohe i loko oʻu no nā makahiki ʻelua a pono paha wau i hoʻokahi, akā ʻaʻole wau i lilo a i ʻole he cyborg."  

"ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole loa au e makemake e hoʻohui i koʻu manaʻo me kekahi mea, ʻoi aku inā pili ia i kaʻu mea hoʻolohe," wahi a Thiessen. Ua wehewehe ʻo ia e holo mau ana ka nui o kēia mau mea hana i nā pila liʻiliʻi a me nā ʻāpana paʻakikī ʻē aʻe i hiki ke haki. Inā pili mākou a pau a pau ka mana a i ʻole ka haki ʻana, e nāwaliwali paha kēlā kanaka ma mua o nā mea ʻē aʻe a i ʻole e like paha ke kino o ke kanaka i ka pau ʻana o ka ʻikepili o ke kanaka ma kā lākou kelepona?  

ʻAʻole kūʻē ʻo Thiessen i ke kaʻina hana o ka hui ʻana i ke kanaka a me ka mīkini. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ua kōkua ka ʻenehana iā ia i nā makahiki. Hoʻoikaika ʻo ia ʻaʻole ʻike ka poʻe me nā mea kōkua iā lākou iho he poʻe wale nō. No Thiessen, inā pili ka poʻe i ka pūnaewele a hoʻomaka e hoʻokaʻawale i waena o nā cyborgs a me nā cyborgs ʻole, e lanakila ka huaʻōlelo e nā manaʻo hou.  

ʻOiai ʻaʻole ʻōlelo ʻo Thiessen e hoʻokō ʻia kahi neʻe xenophobic piha i ka poʻe i loaʻa nā ʻāpana mechanical, ʻoiaʻiʻo e nui nā loli liʻiliʻi i ke ʻano o ka poʻe e ʻike ai i ka biomechatronics. 

ʻAʻole ʻae ʻo Thiessen i ka manaʻo o Monte e maʻalahi a maʻalahi ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka nohona cyborg. "E hoʻohana wale au i kaʻu mea kōkua hoʻolohe no ka lohe," wahi a Thiessen. A laila ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻo ka hapa nui o ka poʻe e pono ai i kahi mea mīkini a i ʻole implant ua aʻo ʻia e hoʻohana wale ʻia e like me ka mea i manaʻo ʻia. “ʻO kaʻu mea kōkua lohe no ka ʻae ʻana i ke kani e komo, e like me nā paipu. He mea maikaʻi loa ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka podcast a me ka lekiō, akā ua aʻo mau ʻia au ʻaʻole ia he mea pāʻani.  

E noʻonoʻo i kahi hanauna hou o ka poʻe e mālama i ko lākou mau lālā prosthetic a me nā mīkini hāʻawi kōkua ʻē aʻe e like me kā lākou kelepona akamai. Ke hele nei ʻo Thiessen e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka nui o kēia mau mea i loaʻa i nā poʻe āpau i kēia manawa a inā mākou e hoʻohui i ka Wi-Fi a me ka ʻikepili i nā ʻāpana prosthetic, e piʻi nui ke kumukūʻai o kēia mau ʻāpana. "Ma kahi o ʻelua mau uku e uku piha ai no kahi kōkua hoʻolohe hou," wahi a Thiessen. Ua kamaʻilio pū ʻo ia e pili ana i ke kumukūʻai o ka hoʻokomo ʻia ʻana o nā paipu ma kona poʻo a me ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ke metala i loko o kona ʻāwae. ʻAʻole hiki iā ia ke noʻonoʻo i ke kumukūʻai o nā ʻāpana kino mechanical inā hoʻohui ʻia ka pūnaewele i nā ʻāpana.   

I kēia manawa, ʻo ka hihia koʻikoʻi ka ʻike o Monte no ka wā e hiki mai ana. Nui nā wānana i hāʻule ʻole no ka wā e hiki mai ana. I ka makahiki 2005 wale nō, ua paʻi ka LA Weekly i kahi ʻatikala e hōʻike ana i ke ola ʻole o ka nūhou a me ka makasina ma ka Pūnaewele. Ua ʻōlelo kekahi ʻōlelo mai ka ʻatikala "ʻo kēia ʻoihana pūnaewele ke ʻano o ka hāʻule ʻole i hiki ʻole ke ola." Akā he 10 mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua ikaika ka Huffington Post. ʻOiai ka nui o nā wānana e pili ana i ka ʻenehana, ʻaʻohe pane maopopo a paʻa paha.  

Akā ke hoʻopau nei mākou i nā mea ʻole? Ua ʻōlelo maʻalahi kekahi ʻelele mai ka War Amps i ka hoihoi o Monte me nā cyborgs: "He mea hoihoi a he mea ʻino kēia mau wānana akā pono e mālama ʻia e like me ka moʻolelo. Hoʻomau ʻo ia me ka haʻi ʻana pehea, "Pono mākou e mālama i ka wānana a kēia kāne e like me ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni Back to the Future." Wahi a ka lunamakaʻāinana, hiki iā mākou ke nānā i mua i kēia wā e hiki mai ana, akā pono e noho paʻa i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo  

ʻAʻole hiki iā Mara Juneau, he lālā o Orthotics Prosthetics Canada, ke hāʻawi i nā wānana paʻa maoli a ʻike paha i ke kūlana ma muli o ka paʻakikī a me ka maopopo ʻole o ka wā e hiki mai ana. ʻIke maopopo ʻole ka wā e hiki mai ana a ʻaʻole ʻoluʻolu loa nā hui he nui i ka manaʻo o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hoʻoponopono i nā pilikia ʻaʻole i loaʻa.   

He mea maopopo naʻe ʻaʻole hele ka pilikia o ka mīkini-kanaka hybrids ma kahi ʻē. Ke hoʻomau nei mākou i ka holomua ʻana i nā mīkini a me ka naʻauao artificial, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻae ʻia ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā mea ʻelua. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole maopopo i ka hui ʻana o nā kānaka me nā mīkini a hiki i ka lilo ʻana i cyborgs o Monte. Malia paha e lilo ana ka wā e hiki mai ana i kahi huli i manaʻo ʻole ʻia a hoʻopuka i kahi mea i hiki ʻole i kekahi o mākou ke moeʻuhane.
