Bruce Peterson was an American aeronautical engineer, and test pilot for NASA.

A cyborg with remaining free human thinking could be considered as an augmented person. However, if a person is totally controlled by AI, they might as well be a robot or something like the Borg.

In the 1970s, author Martin_Caidin wrote about how bionic or robotic limbs & other mechanical parts could help to rebuild a crippled person.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyborg_(novel)#Plot_summary

In this case, most of the body might not be damaged, but it could be 50-50.

In this scenario, 80% or even 90% of the original body was damaged beyond repair.

Glen A. Larson helped to bring THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN to TV.

"Larson was involved in the development for television of The Six Million Dollar Man, based on Martin Caidin's novel Cyborg, into the successful series, and was one of the program's early executive producers."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_A._Larson#Career

The 6 Million+Dollar+Man had such a cool opening by showing what had happened to the Steve_Austin_character.
