Abstract
The illustration contrasts an elderly female stroke victim using a powered exoskeleton for rehabilitation with a shadowy futuristic soldier clad in a similar suit. This juxtaposition highlights the ethical tension between the life-enhancing potential of this technology in medicine and its potential for militarization. The contrast underscores the dilemma of balancing the profound benefits for personal recovery with the risks of advanced technology being employed for destructive purposes.
