Senior security researcher David Jacoby and Kaspersky Europe's global research and analysis director Marco Preuss cite the military, manufacturing, beauty, and healthcare industries as the main arenas for biohacking to develop promising augmentation tools.

It may seem strange to contemplate this reality at a time when we are still struggling to establish reliable internet connections to host remote online events, but a timely discussion of biohacking could pave the way for proactive regulation to keep the nascent industry in check. This is an important point, as delays in regulation in the Internet of Things (IoT) have opened the door to serious security issues.

A total of 91% of they would be open to changing cayman islands whatsapp data of their body features, and 63% expressed a willingness to do so using human augmentation technologies. Italians were the most open to the idea, at 81%. The Spanish, Portuguese, Greeks, and Moroccans were also open to the idea. In contrast, the British were more cautious, with only 33% saying they would look into augmentation technologies to use them to change their body features. More than half of respondents, 53%, said biohacking should serve the common good, such as in medical settings. However, 69% expressed concern that it will become the preserve of the rich in the future.

This latter view is also shared by Julian Savulescu, professor and chair of practical ethics at the Uehiro Centre at the University of Oxford. “Human augmentation will be driven by market forces that maximise profits for large multinational companies,” he says. In other words, biohacking initiatives will be driven by economics and consumer demand, rather than by the pursuit of the common good. Transhumanist Party founder Zoltan Istvan agreed, noting that they will likely be “controlled to some extent by capitalism” and “for better or worse, the economy will be the driving force.”
