Category:Fictional cyborgs: Difference between revisions

{{Notice|'''Must be a ''defining'' trait''' - A "cyborg" is loosely and deliberately defined here as a being with both "biological or organic" parts and "artificial or synthetic" parts, regardless of either source being "natural" or a "[[fabrication]]{{disambiguation needed|date=November 2016}}". This definition is not perfect and requires some "common sense" to be applied. For instance, the definition would seem to allow humans with a [[prosthesis]] to be considered "cyborgs" but this seems inappropriate (see [[:Category:Fictional amputees]]). Furthermore, distinction between primarily [[synthetic biology|robotic organism]] or primarily organic organism being is not made, neither is a beings' life-dependency on either organics or synthetics to function properly is made, nor is distinction made between a being whose [[intelligence]] and/or [[sentience]] is organic-based or synthetic-based. The differences between the two frequently becomes more "philosophical" than "physical", as are often the case with fictional cyborgs when dealing with the boundary between "human" and "machine".}}

Examples of quintessential cyborgs would be:

*[[Motoko Kusanagi]] from the [[Ghost in the Shell]] series, a cyborg with a functional synthetic-[[central nervous system]] encased in synthetic [[gynoid]]-construct.
