Therefore, I logically see no problem with healty looking flesh on a cyborg, and the other way around. A tissue that doesn't look good (healty), would most likely be a dying one. The concept of a cyborg itself demands a lasting solution - on the living part of it as well, since it would otherwise just be a robot with short-term living systems, but a cyborg is dependant on it's living systems as well. SS2 goes on in the future, where cyborgs are a reality, suggesting that those means are definitely present, so the body wouldn't even have an option of not welcoming 'metal and wiring'. A human body is a natural machine, a construct, a system - any system can be changed and adapted, provided that one has means to do so (information and technology). That movie isn't some kind of a realistic presentation, because the guy wasn't really stuffed with antibiotics - his makeup is irrelevant.

The human body doesn't automaticly welcome a sudden intrusion of metal and wiring without some drastic sollutions.I don't remember that movie well, but you forgot about some things anyway:

You know in the movie seven, where that one guy was stuffed with so much antibiotics to avoid infections, remember that look. Web Dictionary of Cybernetics and Systems. Web Dictionary of Cybernetics and Systems Under this definition, animals with donated hearts, kidneys or retinas would also be cyborgs. A creature with an artificial heart is a cyborg. A creature with aspirin in its body is not a cyborg. Furthermore the parts must be of greater than molecular size. They may be based on some of SHODAN 's earlier cyborg experiments on Citadel Station. They are the only cyborgs under the control of the Many other than reprogrammed Cyborg Assassins. A cyborg, then, is a creature composed of some parts constructed without the benefit of mind and some parts constructed with the benefit of mind. Cyborg Midwives are an enemy in System Shock 2. Mind results from the functioning of the parts but is manifested in the external behavior of the organism.

Mind is not involved in the production of the parts.

An animal will be defined as a creature whose elements are the result of 'small loop autopoiesis.' That is the creature creates itself but the parts are the result of localized processes. Since some theorists regard organisms as biological machines, we must define our terms further. (1) an organism with a machine built into it with consequent modification of function (2) an organism which is part animal and part machine. [Yes, i'm really sifting through this thread arn't I. I thought a cyborg could be a robot with anything organic worked into the system?
