Cyborg
From TARDIS Index File, the free Doctor Who reference.
A cyborg is a being which is a combination of technological and biological elements. The word itself is an abbreviation of CYBernetic ORGanism.
Examples of cyborgs are sometimes victims of traumatic injury in which their biological bodies are damaged beyond their ability to heal.(DW: The Pirate Planet, Voyage of the Damned.)
Both the Mondasian Cybermen and Cybus Cybermen were examples of cyborgs which, due to widespread use of standard parts, could be considered a race.
On the planet Sto, cyborgs were discriminated against, a prime example being the case of Max Capricorn. (DW: Voyage of the Damned)
