Details This study deals with the social acceptance of the usage of wearable and/or implantable/insideable electronic devices for various purposes, especially for enjoying sports, in Japan as part of the cross-cultural study on cyborg ethics. Following the authors' previous work (Murata et al, 2017), qualitative study centred on semi-structured interviews with experts was conducted. Through the study, useful views, opinions and suggestions on the research of cyborg ethics were provided. In particular, the experts' expectations for and concerns about the emerging technologies in various contexts, which directly relate to human rights and dignity, were clarified.
