A British scientist who became the'world's first full cyborg' has passed away at the age of 64. Peter Scott-Morgan decided to challenge what it meant to be human when he refused to accept his fate following a diagnosis of motor neurone disease in 2017. He said he wanted to push the boundaries of what science can achieve so decided to extend his life and become fully robotic. His family confirmed the news of his passing on his Twitter account this morning. 'To Peter's amazing rebel supporters: With a broken heart, I'm letting you all know that Peter passed peacefully surrounded by his family, and those closest to him,' they wrote.

Lama Nachman, is an Intel Fellow & Director of Anticipatory Computing Lab. Lama is best known for her work with Prof. Stephen Hawking, she was instrumental in building an assistive computer system to assist Prof. Stephen Hawking in communicating. Today she is assisting British roboticist Dr. Peter Scott-Morgan to communicate. In 2017, Dr. Peter Scott-Morgan received a diagnosis of motor neurone disease (MND), also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease. MND attacks the brain and nerves and eventually paralyzes all muscles, even those that enable breathing and swallowing.

A terminally-ill British scientist dying from a muscle wasting disease says has fully completed his transition into the world's first full CYBORG -- called'Peter 2.0'. Peter Scott-Morgan, 61, decided to challenge what it meant to be human when he refused to accept his fate following a diagnosis of motor neurone disease in 2017. He said he wanted to push the boundaries of what science can achieve so decided to extend his life and become fully robotic. And this week the world-renowned roboticist returned to his home in Torquay, Devon, after 24 days in intensive care, with all medical procedures now complete and able to begin his re-booted life. But the evolution of his machine-like existence doesn't end there -- and he joked he had more upgrades scheduled than Microsoft.
