What failed in order to cause the 'perfect storm' that lead to the 2008 Global Financial Crisis? Did the leaders, managers and employees of financial institutions have a complete disregard for regulation, a breakdown in human ethics, a contempt for customers, or in fact ignorance to anything apart from profit and bonuses? If so, is increased regulation going to prevent this from happening again? Or is increasing regulation causing a dissociation in staff from ethical decision making and placing an almost co-dependent and ultimately unrealistic reliance on complance and legal departments, which is in turn setting the industry up to fail again?

Abstract Contemporary technological developments undermine the core pillars defining the human self, under the emergence of cyborgs and super-empowered individuals. The pre-determined boundaries between humans and machines may turn obsolete with the consolidation of the new hybrid humanity. This may foster an innovative approach to the traditional understanding of human ethics and the establishment of cyborg norms and regulations. In this article, the primordial nexus between cyborg ethics and the eugenics movement is further analyzed, hence as enhancing catalysators of mankind. Moreover, the article raises an ethical decision-making diagram, in which the normative cyborgs debate is framed in terms of positive and negative eugenic regimes. This analysis aims at providing a clearer understanding of cyborg-related ethical decision-making and the ways it magnifies eugenic features. As technological components become an inherent part of the human body, the international community should adhere to reshaping the notion of cyborg ethics and its ethical and regulatory implications.
