Sammanfattning
Recent biomedical and technological advances are changing the discourse
on aging. Nowadays it is becoming increasingly common for people to carry
technological devices in connection with the body. As human hybrids are on
the rise the author of this article argues there is a need to update current definitions
of aging, or to formulate new multidisciplinary ones. Finally a bio-technosocial
definition of aging is put forward.
