A great insight into what it is to augment ones-self and pay the price for it, is given by the popular manga Ghost In The Shell:
In this movie two officers. One, part machine and the other, an android controlled by parts of a human brain, combat a cyber terrorist known as the "puppet master".
It centers deeply on the mystery of whether an A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) can have a soul.
The video excerpt is the title sequence from the movie. This depicts the construction of an android body, assumed to be the officer mentioned above, into which is implanted with living tissue.
This can be interpreted as my extreme case scenario where people are constructed instead of naturally born into the world.
It also indicates that although they are machines they are "born" as natual people are.
