We the UNSC belive it is not only right to use cyborgs but, also very humane. Where is the harm in killing the already dead? Our previous experiments have led to casulaties and blunders. But, we have learned from our mistakes. Cyborg usage is now a reality for us without the problems.

We agree, because, you are useing soulless hulks instead of innocent young men.

We will help fund any nation that has a Cyborg Program.

It's not just humane in that sense. It also means that they can be able to take live prisoners without worry of their own casualties.

Our cyborgs have no mind, but are controled by techs via a non-AI program.

If you do not agree with cybog warfare, please state why.

Ah, your definition of cyborg seems to be different to ours (A person whose physical tolerances or capabilities are extended beyond normal human limitations by a machine or other external agency that modifies the body's functioning; an integrated man-machine system.) Your limitation to merely robots which have some structural components salvaged from corpses makes it a most humane way of creating warriors.

Can we take one apart and modify it to do wheelies?

In simplier terms, yes.

Actually, a cyborg is technically any mix of organic/non-organic materials. MIT put a fish brain and spine in a fish robot, and it worked. A person with robotic limbs, or implanted electronics is technically a cyborg as well.

ORNN News report:


Top officials from TOR are baffled as to which argument to present. So, in the interest of compromise, they have decided to present all three.

A few have decided that using cyborgs in war is inhumane, because it would strip the dead of their dignity, and turn them into mere toys.

Most agree that it is, indeed, vastly more humane then sending high school kids (the TOR conscription age is 18-35) off to fight in a war they don't agree with. They are prepared to support this program.

A third, more cynical group decided that the other two need to shut up and concentrate on developing the TOR's increasingly impractical self-loading muzzleloaders. They were promptly silenced, and booted from the argument.



However, all sides agree that sufficient proof that the AI is absolutely foolproof would be required before any support is given.


This is ORNN News reporter, Daniel Leinad.

ORNN News Update:

TOR Top officials are at a loss as to which argument to present from their meeting which took place only three hours ago. In the interest of compromise, all will be presented.


A few believe that they would never support an atrocity such as cyborg warfare, as it would strip the dead of the dignity they are entitled to, and reduce them to mere toys.

Most agree that it would be a vastly more humane way of fighting war. The debate has always gone on that sending high school kids (TOR conscription age is 18-35) to wars they don't believe in is morally wrong. This could solve the problem once and for all. They are rprepared to support this program.


A third, more cynical group has decided that both need to shut up, and TOR needs to concentrate on the development of the increasingly-impractical self-loading muzzleloaders. They were promptly booted from the meeting.


However, all agree that sufficient proof that the AI is 100% foolproof would be required before any support is given. Cyborgs running rampant in areas with large populations would be a major problem, so total control would be a must. However, as soon as proper proof is given, we of the TOR are prepared to support the program.

This is ORNN reporter Daniel Leinad, good day to all.



EDIT: I apologize for the double post, my computer was...not acting as a desirable piece of equipment should.
