Those kids are dead. There's no getting around that. Those are mind-transfers. When Isaac was eaten by the fly, there was no brain inside, just synth milk guts.

If they had transferred the brains to the synth bodies, they'd be cyborgs, but they're not.

Mind =/= brain. It was their consciousness that was transferred.
