Helva's Post and The Borg

When thinking about Helva couldn't we classify her as a cyborg.  I mean i was thinkign about it and she is human but she is encased in her shell which allows her to controol a ship as if it were her own limb.  Basically in my book that is pretty much the definition of cyborg.  Cyborgs in star trek had the eye thingy drilled into them and cooperated as one more like a drone state, althought i would not classify helva to be a drone i would however say that she is most definitely part machine because her sense of touch and human contact is mostly gone, also she makes her movement through machine making her at least poartially a cyborg.  Granted she is no trying to colonize anything but i feel that the similarities between her and the borg in star trek are more than their weaknesses.  Both she and the borg queen are highly intelligent and they are both using machines to gain/use the control they seek are they not?  The main difference of course is that as far as we know, because we havent read other books helva is not trying to colonize and tarnsform the world as the borg queen is.  just some food for thought.
