Interesting problem. We have always played that there is nothing but fake
skin over the torso, good after a fall or a fight, when the skin is all torn
a la Terminator. I'd say things like shoulder muscles would be replaced, but
connected to real muscles in the arms etc. if they haven't been replaced
too. Also veins and arteries would have to still connect to real limbs. In
all, though, in my opinion there would be significantly less body mass to be
sacrificed during starvation, maybe the character will overnight get really
skinny legs :?)
I am wondering about the pictures of the cybertorso having a flat and
featureless groin area. Men's special attachment to their genitalia aside,
where do the waste products go?
