I have to see this movie again as i saw it at a young age... but from what i remember the superhuman with an expiry date makes for a very intriguing tragedy, its also very archetypal, I doubt if any movie escapes some archetypal notion, but this one might connect to the 7th circuit of the human level a perpetuation of the human awareness and maybe even another "consciousness" (if we eventually find out what that means or what we refer to as consciousness).
Casting out words will not suffice to explain out something so faundamentalas conciousnes, in any case we do not have the kinesthetic feel of it as every existing definition contradicts some experiential notion of it.
In the movie one can relate with all that the Cyborg is because of "his" death, that dive into a new but somehow familiar creature results in the illusion that one might know how it is to be someone else and be themselves too.
