It is amazing how Park seems to lose about 15 pounds when she gets out of uniform. But, according to an interview with Katee Sackoff I read someplace, these poor gals have to stick to a rigorous diet and exercise routine. They’re not unhealthy, and they could probably kick our asses at this point. ---

[QUOTE=sturmhauke] Eh. [Major Kusanagi](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motoko_Kusanagi) can kick all their asses. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=sturmhauke] Kusanagi has way more robotic parts than 7 of 9.

[/QUOTE] She’s still a full cyborg—that’s like a transsexual human. Whether or not she’s counted as a “robot” mostly depends on the politics of the observer. 😃 Anyway, since most of the good gals (?) have already been noted, I’ll have to bring up…three of Marvel’s [Livewires](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livewires) True, they didn’t sell very well…and they’re all sociopaths…and possibly perverts…but hey, no one’s perfect. I guess [Rayna Kapec](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayna_Kapec) counts, now that I think of it. ---

[QUOTE=sturmhauke] Kusanagi has way more robotic parts than 7 of 9. In fact, I think the only organic part is the brain. I think they should both count, personally. Hell, Cylons are practically indistinguishable from humans by most tests. [/QUOTE] But Kusanagi isn’t artificial, and I think that is of major importance in whether something is a Robot or not. Also Kusanagi was originally a normal born human, her cells weren’t vat grown or designed to be part of a bio-machine, she’s as human as the Six Million Dollar Man, just much more completely cyberised. The cylons were never Human, and were designed and built, hence are artificial. Now if they have Ghosts in the sense of the ‘Ghost in the Shell’ universe seems quitel likely as they are spiritual machines. So it could be argued that even though Cylons are artificial they are also not mearly robots. But that is more a subject for GD discussion.
