  In an ever more connected world, awareness has grown towards the hazards and
vulnerabilities that the networking on sensitive digitized information pose for
all parties involved. This vulnerability rests in a number of factors, both
human and technical.From an ethical perspective, this means people seeking to
maximise their own gain, and accomplish their goals through exploiting
information existing in cyber space at the expense of other individuals and
parties. One matter that is yet to be fully explored is the eventuality of not
only financial information and other sensitive material being globally
connected on the information highways, but also the people themselves as
physical beings. Humans are natural born cyborgs who have integrated technology
into their being throughout history. Issues of cyber security are extended to
cybernetic security, which not only has severe ethical implications for how we,
policy makers, academics, scientists, designers etc., define ethics in relation
to humanity and human rights, but also the security and safety of merged
organic and artificial systems and ecosystems.
