I have a question for the community. Say, for example, you are faced with a human who is either partially or mostly made up of mechanical parts. In other words, a cyborg. Would you consider that person any less human or refer to them as an abomination?

No, merely they have adapted to the situations that forced them to evolve. Does that answer your question?

If it was done against their will, perhaps the ones who did it would be, but the people themselves... no.

That's stupid. Of course they're still a person.

Even if there's nothing organic left in them and only resemble a human in their form?

Yes. If they feel like us, they're a person.
