 In Donna Haraway’s article, “A Cyborg Manifesto”, Haraway explains there are three boundaries that divide humans from animals, organisms from machines, and organic from inorganic. The metaphorical  “cyborg” symbolizes something that can go beyond these boundaries due to the fact cyborgs have both mechanical and organic components. Haraway states anything capable of overcoming  the things that limit it, can reach its true potential. Motivational speaker Eric Thomas once said “The most important thing is: to be able at any moment, to sacrifice what you are, for what you will become”.  This quote means in one must test one’s limitations  in order to improve itself. This theory also applies to social, racial, and gender related boundaries.  If we accept a society without labels or limitations, we can achieve prosperity. Haraway embraces growth under ambiguous, and unbiased circumstances. Since the cyborg is both natural and artificial, it is exempt from traditional binarisms;a cyborg isn’t confined to one identity.
