** "Am I any lesser because I replaced what I lost?" "No, Dan. You're still you. You'll always be the Dan I know."

** Cybernetics destroying your soul only applies if the brain is changed in any way, due to the brain being a very delicate organ in command of the entire body. Any other body parts can have lesser effects that can be overcome with therapy, healing, and time, but adding cybernetics to brain matter is far more damaging and possibly permanent. Therefore, the majority of cyborgs in the setting are basically just normal people with metal bits on them. It's the ones that had brain-altering augments that are dangerous because their brains have been messed with.
