On the rephrased description, I felt that "cyborg characteristics", meaning "cybernetic organism characteristics", didn't sound right, using a noun instead of an adjective to describe the characteristics. 'Widespread' was to indicate that majority of members of the race have cybernetics as a matter of course; occasional humans with prosthetic limbs don't make humans a cyborg race.
"Carterian" is from Sigma Iotia II (mirror), where it only describes the personalities of some Iotians with cybernetics of some kind. I don't think this marks them as a separate race. -- BadCatMan 03:39, June 4, 2012 (UTC)
