A Conversation for Cyborgs in Science Fiction
Cyborg Defintions

Interesting how people define the cyborg as a cybernetic organism (correctly) but then say that cyborgs have to be human based. This in itself is a contradiction. There is plenty of organisms that aren't human.
Another small point is whether or not the original Terminator is a cyborg. He is sometimes seen as an android and other times as a cyborg. Within the movie he calls himself a cybernetic organism, but does his skin over his robot frame make him a cyborg? Without the skin he could still preform the same tasks. So i would say he is an android as the skin is purely for superficial reason.
