AMORIM, Hellen Marinho  e  CARDOSO, Renato César. The cyborg at the threshold of humanity: redefining the natural person. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2019, n.46, pp.67-84.  Epub 01-Out-2019. ISSN 1886-5887.

It is the person who inaugurates the legal existence of the being: without it, it is difficult to reach agreements on the specificities of rights and duties. In the midst of this relationship, transhumanism, a philosophy that advocates an improved human being to transcend his biological nature, finds practical support in the interaction of technology with biology, resulting in the gradual expansion of human "being" modes, where the cyborg emerges as a human potential differentiated in vulnerabilities and potentialities in front of modern Homo sapiens. Thus, the contemporary legal personality is affected and it is necessary to rethink its formulation. It is argued that the possibilities of protection and responsibility of the cyborg imply an unprecedented legal existence through a new person, the non-natural person.
