Cyborg is defined by [Merriam Webster Online] as, "a bionic human". But, in modern literature the term usually refers to any human whose main components are bio-electronic. This can be necessary implants, such as pacemakers, or enhancements like amplified strength. Basically, this term refers to any human incorporating many electronic components. Not to be confused with robot, or machine, this term refers to something that was once organic but has since acquired electronic components

Etmyology: cybernetic + organism [Merriam Webster Online]
