  • Restorative Tools or machines that restore lost functions or limbs. Artificial hearts and prosthetic limbs are examples.
  • Normalising Technologies that return existing limbs or organs to normality, such as hearing aids, spectacles, pacemakers or reconstructive surgery.
  • Enhancing Technologies that improve human performance, such as night vision goggles, forklifts or communication technologies.
  • Reconfiguring Technologies that create differences, but do not enhance human bodies, such as cosmetic breast implants, collagen injections, tattooing and body modification.
