I guess that might be possible... but the borg would probably go mad from finding himself in such a weak and fragile new body.

Also, such mega extensive bio system reconstruction would likely be experimental, and probably VERY heavy on maintenance

Isn' t that like the retro-conversions that the CS offer some of their cyborgs after their service is up?

No.

You need a clone body.

I'm afraid your wrong doom.

check CWC. it says that any borg that's caught comiting crimes ( that don't come with a death penalty anyway) have all bionics stripped and are given a new body with bio-systems that have the lowest capabilities.

No one makes or can make replacement bio system bodies.
Without a clone replacement they are still a borg with patchwork biosystem body parts.

How about the biosystem digestive system?
Biosystem blood?
Nervous system?

You misunderstood ma RPGMAN.

The madness would not be from turning borg, it would come from going from a powerful borg body to a weak, only average, or even sub human one.

In a way, it would be the same problem facing juicers and detox... and the reason why so few actually do it.

I highly doubt that since "the basic body (spine, chest, skull, skeleton and internal organs) are likely to remain artifical, bionic constructs."

That would be for a person who is not a borg first getting a replacement limb.
