Cyborg

Cyborg is a shortened variation of the term cybernetic organism. A cyborg is an amalgamation of living, biological matter infused with technological enhancements. Most often, the technological enhancements substitute for an organ or body part that had been either lost or removed. The enhancements may be something small and unoticeable such as an implant or nanotechnology, but may also include replacements for larger affected areas including limbs, torso, spine, etc. Cyborgs are extremely popular in science fiction stories and have been featured in hundreds of films, novels, comic books and television programs.
