Abstract: As a major feature of many modern technologies with significant influence, maximality is the turning point where the related technologies undergo transformations from the perspective of ethical judgment, which has obtained a rising tendency with the propulsion of multiple factors in the present times. Technology contains human elements as part of its nature, thus providing room for human participation in technologies. The much justified pursuit of hallowed and inviolable human rights serves as the powerful driving force for many technologies to gain the maximal status. Nowadays, it is of great urgency to contemplate the mechanism of maximality and its corresponding harm, and human redemption is made possible by the very human nature of technology.

Key words: technological maximality, human right, value, human nature
