Abstract
As technology continues to blur the line between biology and engineering, a movement known as biohacking is gaining traction. Also referred to as do-it-yourself (DIY) biology, biohacking involves using science, technology, and self-experimentation to enhance the human body, mind, and life span. From implanting RFID chips under the skin to optimizing cognitive performance with nootropics, biohackers aim to push human potential beyond its natural limits. This article explores the types of biohacking, notable innovations, ethical concerns, and how this movement may redefine what it means to be human.
