Old Age And Cyborgs

If you have a 80y/o colonist with bionic limbs, heart, spine, eyes and stomach what age related heath problems could kill them? besides getting dementia and wandering around occasionally will this person live forever?

Carcinomas could occur I think. There's also liver damage, lung problems (asthma), diseases in general.

...or the 5 added raiders you'll get for pimping out your grandma with tech, now valued at something like 15 000 silver?

frail?  i'm not sure if you can develop frail as a condition

Liver problems could also hit.

Lastly, i think immunity gain speed is tied to age, so at a certain point, they may die to routine diseases if that gain speed decay isn't capped

well i mean i thought it was obvious you could replace livers kiddies and lungs. And you can neutralize Frail with bionics and surpass it with astrotech. After looking around It looks like Dementia and brain chemical damage can occur and make them not very useful.

Operations on lungs are very risky, you would have to save-scum to eliminate risk there I think.

if your doctor is med-low level atleast "catastrophic failures" dont usually kill
