My definition of a cyborg is a person that has some sort of machinery implanted in them that improves their way of life. I do not think that I would ever want to be a cyborg. I don't think I would be comfortable having pumps and wires controlling parts of body. I would not feel human or normal. There are only two circumstances that I would ever consider being a cyborg. The first is health reasons. If there was something wrong with me and the only way that I could continue my life normally would be to implant something in my body to keep me alive. The second is if it became a way of life. If it was viewed as normal in a society, I would probably do it. Those are the only two circumstances that I would ever allow myself to be a cyborg.

I do not believe that cyborgs should have equal rights as normal humans. They are not complete human so they should not be held at the same level of responsibility as one. I do not think that the Cyborg Bill of Rights are appropriate. First of all, the Fifth Amendment is the Right to Life. It states that a person can choose to end their life at any time they want to. Since when is this ever viewed as a right? Second, the Seventh Amendment is the Right to Political Equality. I don't know about anyone else, but I do not think that I would want a cyborg representing my city, state or even country. Cyborgs do not seem like stable human beings. If they are hooked up with wires or pumps, who knows if something will go wrong and cause that person to "malfunction." Lastly, the Ninth Amendment is the Freedom of Family, Sex, and Gender. If a person can choose their gender, then they are not a normal human being. People can get gender reassignment surgery, but that is not the same as being able to say, "I want to be born as a girl or a boy." These amendments just do not seem right to me. Cyborgs are not people and they should not have the same rights.
