I was thinking that too. Shishka was technically right when he said someone with a pacemaker is a cyborg. Though I was thinking hearing aid LOL.
But we don't think of someone with a mechanical leg as non-human, do we? I prefer to call Spartans humans as the word Cyborg makes me think of a Terminator or something. Sometimes I think of them as Super-Soldiers as well...

You guys suck at sci fi.

A cyborg is any being with a mechanical enhancement. In a Spartan's case, the neural lace they use to manipulate mjolnir armor qualifies them as cyborgs.

In real life, a person with a pacemaker is technically a cyborg.

"Dude with a mechanical arm" or "dude that is half robot" is simply a cliché cyborg.


I think that was what I was saying to the rest of the people, was I not? Implants, people. Bone graphs.

Hollywood makes people think of a guy with half his face made of metal, and all that.

You can still be a cyborg and be a Human. Calling John and the rest of the Spartans doesn;t mean that people think of them as non human, only enhanced humans.

"Cyborgs and AI Constructs first!"
