I'm glad I won't be here.

A person with a cochlear implant, that brings sound from an external sources, converts it into electrical impulses, and transmits it directly into the cochlea of the ear could rightly be termed a cyborg. Many people now have these devices, most notably this guy.

Good morning.
"Many people now have these devices..."

My heart beats at a low normal rate because of a device implanted in my chest with two leads embedded into the heart muscle and I've got other devices to make up for the damage done to my ears by exposure to too much noise when I was young.

My late friend had the pacemaker, two artificial knees and one artificial shoulder, along with hearing aids, glasses and replacement teeth. He was still functioning until the day he dropped. I would say he came close to being a cyborg.
