I recently reviewed the leading ideas of Worm that served as organizing principles of his Cabinet of curiosities in Denmark. One of them is the idea developped by Sain Augutine known as rationes seminales, whereby he argued that God imprinted on everything an order the led the reproduction of species, and the imposibility of their mixing. That idea is strongly challenged by modern developments in politics, gender studies, and particulary by genetics, physics etc where fluidity favours the trespasing of old accepted truths and the impossibility of different species mixing.. Nowadays the possibility of hybrid humans and robots raises, questions not only about the issues of rationes seminales, but also bring to the front the old discussions about Christ´s one nature and one will. It was decided that Christ had only on will but two natures. hybrids bring those questions to the realm of mankind in modern times, where one questions whether a hybrid has two natures: human and machine, and one will. But which will? the human or the machine?, and what happens with morals and ethics, with free will, and legal responsibility?. Under these circumstances the whole studies about mankind are totally subverted, the limits between art and nature are blurred,and changes the entire human enterprise.
