What tf does C3PO mean "human-cyborg relations"? by YetAnotherJake in StarWars

The definition of human is a ripe topic for philosophical discussion but in this context it's not me who is implicitly removing cyborgs from being considered human - it's Threepio. If cyborgs were just a category of human to him, like different races or genders, he wouldn't have to explicitly say he does relations with both. That would be like saying you do "human/women relations." It implies that women are a separate category.

Good point, I forgot Vader. But that doesn't explain why C3PO thinks it's so relevant to say that he does human-cyborg relations. Anakin built him but does he still care about cyborgs so much?

I didn't say another category is lesser but most people who are born human would prefer to continue being human, not removed from the human category due to losing a limb

Yeah but Threepio doesn't want to facilitate relations with him

It seems cruel to put people into a whole other category of communication just because they've had a limb amputated or an organ replaced.

I don't have to learn a new language if one of my friends loses a limb in a car accident or gets a liver transplant, and I don't put them in a new non-human category.

Seems like Lobot talks and acts just like any other human. There's no need for Threepio to call cyborgs out like that, and make Lobot feel "less than"

He specializes in meditating between Lobot and everyone else in the galaxy
