A transhum is a what you get when a cyborg doesn't know the words?

But seriously, folks...

A cyborg, or cybernetic organism, is an organism composed of
integrated artificial and natural systems.  So present-day, low-level
cyborgs include humans with cochlear implants, hearing aids, cardiac
or neural pacemakers, eyeglasses, etc.

"Transhuman", on the other hand, is more a reference to a future point
on a trajectory beyond present concepts of humanity than anything that
can be precisely specified.
