With the rise of brain-computer interface technologies like Elon Musk’s Neuralink , which aim to enhance cognitive functions such as memory, learning speed, and attention, how do Christian theologians and denominations view the use of such implants purely for enhancement rather than healing or therapeutic purposes?
Would using such technologies be seen as overstepping the boundaries of God’s design for the human mind, or could they be interpreted as a legitimate form of human innovation and stewardship over creation?
Are there any official statements, theological writings, or denominational positions—particularly from Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant perspectives—that address this issue, either directly or through applicable principles?
