# Not Developing Lifesaving Enhancements Could Be Unethical by Cyborg Soldier 2050 Study Group > “One could argue that failure to invest in responsible development of these potentially lifesaving technologies would be unethical.” > **— Emanuel, Walper, DiEuliis, Klein, Petro and Giordano**, *2019, Cyborg Soldier 2050, §6.5* ## Sources and Context - **Primary report:** [*Cyborg Soldier 2050*, CCDC CBC-TR-1599, §6.5](https://wespenrevideos.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/US-Army-SuperSoldiers2050.pdf). The sentence concerns investment in **responsible development** of possible life-saving human–machine technologies, in a discussion of warfighter survivability. It is a conditional ethical argument, not an assertion that any specific device is safe or ready to field. - **Attribution boundary:** Six named researchers authored the study. Its disclaimer explicitly denies that the findings are official Army, NDU, DOD, or U.S. Government policy. ## Related Articles and Collections - **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Simple Reminders|Simple Reminders]] - **Article:** [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]] - **Article:** [[articles/Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer|Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer]] - **Wiki map:** [[wiki/Human-Machine Symbiosis|Human-Machine Symbiosis]] ## Related Topics - [[wiki/Cyborg Soldier 2050|Cyborg Soldier 2050]] - [[wiki/Human-Machine Symbiosis|Human-Machine Symbiosis]] ## Share on Social Media ``` “One could argue that failure to invest in responsible development of these potentially lifesaving technologies would be unethical.” — Emanuel et al., Cyborg Soldier 2050, 2019 https://bryantmcgill.com/simple-reminders-cyborg-soldier-lifesaving-enhancements ```
