Abstract

The robotization of the human implies a more or less intimate hybridization with the machine. When it participates in the repair of the human being, it generates a modification of the legal status of the robot that passes from the category of things to that of personn, which has remarkable effects in terms of civil liability. However, as the therapeutic aspect of hybridization disapears, not only does the robot move away from the category of personn, but the hybrid body raises many questions about fundamental rights.
