Since the twentieth century, mankind has always made advancements in technology of medicine and
the television to the internet and the nuclear bomb. In 1964, the great minds of our planet met up in
Paris to discuss the possibility of human augmentation. Plastic surgery and implants were becoming more
common as the century was ending. The conference discussed the ethical and moral quandaries of human
augmentation only being made available to wealthy, developed countries. It also talked about the βneedβ
and βwantβ in human augmentation, and the potential for human augmentation over the next century. After
the discussions, The Code of Ethics on Human Augmentation was shown to the world.
The world didn't take it seriously since it created standards for a form of technology that is still in
its infancy. And soon after, world leaders at the time were too forced on the second major period of
globalization and scientist began their shift towards global warming. The world soon forgot about the
code until the year 2025. The Digital Revolution was still going strong as holograms are becoming
popular as a form of entertainment. The Middle East finally saw peace for the first time in decades
with the end of the civil war and the defeat of ISIL; however, terrorist attacks are on a rise. NATO
Russian relations are more strained than ever because of the annexation and puppet of Ukraine. The gap
between rich and poor nations got worse with third world countries being affected the most. And the
European Union was on the verge of collage as three more countries left.
However, the world has advanced technologically and more countries are adopting liberal social politics
like same-sex marriage. And suddenly, augmentation started to become popular in the
world. It started with elf ears and then advanced into prosthesis. And the world witnessed cyberware
becoming a fashion statement overnight. Transhumanism starts to become popular with the youth. Russia,
along with several Central and Eastern European countries, made all of them illegal, citing that it was
going against human nature. The augmented citizens are facing discrimination and brutality from both
citizens and police every single day while living in separated districts. At the moment, several
European countries are requesting for a United Nations investigation into the law and whether they are
violating human rights or not.
