Donna Haraway’s “Cyborg Manifesto” underscores the notion that –

The correct option is: The boundaries between animal, human and machine are breaking down.

Donna Haraway’s seminal 1985 essay, "A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century," uses the metaphor of the "cyborg" (a cybernetic organism, a hybrid of machine and organism) to challenge traditional, rigid dualisms and boundaries that have historically structured Western thought.

In the essay, Haraway argues that by the late 20th century, three crucial boundary breakdowns had occurred:
1. The boundary between human and animal: The division between humans and other living creatures has become thoroughly breached, as scientific advancements and philosophical shifts show that we share language, tool-use, and social structures with other animals.
2. The boundary between animal-human (organism) and machine: Pre-cybernetic machines were not self-moving or autonomous. However, modern microelectronic and cybernetic machines have become so complex and self-contained that they blur the distinction between what is organic and what is technological. They seem possessive of minds, while humans increasingly integrate with technologies.
3. The boundary between physical and non-physical: Microtechnology and silicon-based electronics have made machines miniature, ubiquitous, and almost invisible, breaking down the boundary between physical matter and non-physical states.

Therefore, the manifesto underscores that the boundaries between animal, human, and machine are actively breaking down, offering a new way to conceptualize identity, gender, and politics without relying on essentialist dualisms.
