/ 1/ You can't be hospitalized because regeneration power is much too powerful.
Actually, it could be done. You'd just have to keep slicing and dicing
until the patient's regeneration failed.
Here's my take on the subject.
Cyberware could theoretically be installed in a person/creature with
regeneration. As I stated above the actual instalation is possible,
difficult, but possible.
Once it's installed I don't think that regeneration would reject the
cyberware. Cyberware doesn't cause damage to it's owner. The
regeneration power is only effective against damage caused to the
person/creature.
After installation the regeneration power would heal the damage
caused by the surgery, but it shouldn't reject the cyberware.
In the case of a shapeshifter shifting from one form to another I
believe that cyberware would be rejected because it's unaffected by
the ability that allows a shifter to shift shape. So when a shifter
shifts shape (say that three times fast ;) the configuration of the
cyberware doesn't change. It's like having a square peg in a square
hole and turning the square hole into a round hole. When the shifter
shifts shape the cyberware is "static" and causes damage as the flesh
that surrounds it changes position. Since the cyberware is no longer
where it's supposed to be, it's treated as a foreign object and is
rejected as the shifter regenerates the damage.
Just my two cents.
