Author: Shim, Ji-Won, Kim, Mun Jeong Journal: Korean Journal of Medical Ethics Vol: 22/3 Pages: 274-286 Date: 2019. Register Information: KCI etc.: - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- <Abstract> If humans are one day transformed into cyborgs, will they be treated by doctors or rather engineers? And would medical interventions on such beings be seen as cures or rather repairs and maintenance? In a future populated by cyborgs, will doctors be trained as engineers and will engineers also be medical professionals? Questions such as these motivate the present study, which aims to re-examine medical ethics from the perspective of engineering. More specifically, this study attempts to describe how medical practice might be transformed by the introduction of cyborgs and the inclusion of engineering within the field of medicine and also how medical ethics might eventually be combined with engineering ethics.
