Pioneering British scientist Dr. Peter Scott-Morgan dies at 64
He passed away after a five-year battle with motor neurone disease (MND).
Confirming his death on Twitter, his spokeswoman said: “To Peter’s incredible rebellious supporters: It is with a broken heart that I tell everyone that Peter passed away peacefully surrounded by his family and those closest to him.
“He was incredibly proud of all of you who supported him and his vision to change the way people view disability.”
The author, from Torquay, Devon, was diagnosed with MND in 2017 and given just two years to live.
But he was desperate to push the limits of science, so he set out to extend his life by becoming fully robotic.
He underwent a series of complex operations, including the “reconnection” of his stomach with a feeding tube and a colostomy bag for his intestines.
She also underwent a laryngectomy to separate her esophagus and trachea to reduce the risk of fatal pneumonia, which meant she would never speak again.
However, before going under the knife, Peter recorded tens of thousands of words and sentences that he could then activate using his eyes.
He also underwent laser eye surgery to optimize his vision to 70 cm, the distance between his face and his computer screen.
Holly Willoughby was also on the verge of tears
And he developed a realistic avatar of his face, designed to respond using artificially intelligent body language.
Later, Peter stated that he had fully transitioned him into the world’s first full cyborg, named Peter 2.0.
And he went on to star in the Channel 4 documentary Peter: The Human Cyborg, during which he burst into tears when he heard his future robotic voice for the first time.
Holly Willoughby was also on the verge of tears when Peter appeared on This Morning in 2021 to talk about his “hopes and dreams of him”.
She told the TV presenter: “Our mission is to completely rewrite the future of disability.
“As a transitioning human cyborg, my overall quality of life is exceptional.
“I have love, I have fun, I have hope, I have dreams, I have a purpose.”
Tributes have poured in for the disability activist, who died of the same disease that killed Stephen Hawking.
Jan Warren, Deputy Trustee of the Motor Neurone Disease Association, said: “I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of a dear friend and MND warrior, Peter Scott Morgan.
