Dr. Peter Scott-Morgan, pioneering 'human cyborg' who defied ALS, has died

Dr. Peter Scott-Morgan, the roboticist who became known as the world’s most advanced human cyborg in his radical fight for bodily autonomy in the face of terminal illness, has died after a five-year battle with ALS.

On Wednesday morning, a tweet from the British-American scientist’s account announced: “With a broken heart, I’m letting you all know that Peter passed peacefully surrounded by his family, and those closest to him. He was incredibly proud of all of you who supported him, and his vision of changing the way people see disability.”
