Scientist Peter Scott Morgan from the County Devon, England, found out that he was diagnosed with the disease of the motor neurons and decided to extend the life using robotics. It is reported by Daily Mail.
62-year-old doctor learned about the problems with muscles in 2017. But being inspired by the scientific fiction series “Doctor Who” and the Star Path, he considered that knowledge and technologies will help to recover.
The scientist understood that muscle problems do not affect the work of the main internal organs. The only thing that can kill a person in the end, as he found out is the fact that the muscles will not be able to work with the lungs, there will be no gas exchange, the oxygen level will fall. Scott Morgan realized that he would decide this problem, he could extend his life.
Since then, he has passed a number of complex and risky operations and called himself the first cyborg in the world.
“really alive, and not just one of the living dead, not just a surviving, [a] thriving,” the scientist described his well-being, told that most pleased with the support of his partner Francis.
Now Scott Morgan, after losing the skill to control the muscles of the face, is expressing with the help of artificial intelligence. With the help of the view, it controls multiple computers, and the virtual robot, similar to the scientist, transmits his words. The doctor calls his way of treatment with the end of Peter 1.0 and the beginning of Peter 2.0.
A year ago, the scientist together with a partner created a charitable organization. They are planning with the help of the best minds of the world to completely rewrite the future of people with disabilities.
