The definition of a cyborg is: A fictional or hypothetical person whose physical abilities become superhuman by mechanical elements built into the body.

Stephen Hawking is not a cyborg. He has no superhuman abilities. He suffers from ALS, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, a progressive disease of the nerve cells that control voluntary muscle movement. The disease has made him unable to speak, so he uses an electronic voice synthesizer to communicate. His intelligence is unaffected by his disease.
