Star Trek: The Next Generation : Does the Borg drones grow old?

Does the Borg drones grow old?

Or do they retain their youth until the end of their lifespan?

Re: Does the Borg drones grow old?

I think they get old. They were humans or whatever first, right?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

Re: Does the Borg drones grow old?

Okey. But can they live forever if they wanted to? Doesn't the nanoprobes fix the body cells?

Re: Does the Borg drones grow old?

I would imagine they DO grow, since there are "maturation chambers" for assimilated children. Maybe we don't see old Borg as they are disposed of beyond a certain age?

Why are you here if you haven't seen the movie yet?

Re: Does the Borg drones grow old?

Exactly. We also see chambers for babies. If the Borg do not grow old, there would be no need for babies. Just assimilate new replacements.

Re: Does the Borg drones grow old?

Borg's need loving too.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

Re: Does the Borg drones grow old?

Maybe there is an Old Borg retirement home,you know Borg in walkers,scooters and wheelchairs all watching the home shopping zone on a big @ss TV. 📺

Re: Does the Borg drones grow old?

Nah. If anything, they'd be watching Matlock.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

Re: Does the Borg drones grow old?

If they are so lucky CJ who's not to say that the Borg when they get old and obsolete are being euthanized? 💊

Re: Does the Borg drones grow old?

I'd imagine they would be euthanized when they're no longer useful. I guess the nano-probes can't stop the aging process?

Re: Does the Borg drones grow old?

My friend's mom has altzheimer's and she then had a stroke and can't move the left side of her body pretty much at all.
My friend's sister went to visit their mom at the old folk's home and they told her that her mom was in "physical therapy".
The chick went into the room and the physical therapy was about 15 old people in wheelchairs in a circle and some b1thch
in the center of the room taking a ball and saying, "think fast" and nailing them with the ball.
Pretty much psychological torture.

The Borg would be lucky if they get a better retirement than that.


BRING THEM TO HEAL!

Re: Does the Borg drones grow old?

Thanks for the uplifting story, Nak.

Re: Does the Borg drones grow old?

My grandmother had Alzheimer's. It's a sad thing.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

Re: Does the Borg drones grow old?

I work with people with dementia. It's awful.

Re: Does the Borg drones grow old?

If it would happen to me I would ask them to pull the plug out at least I want to go out still in control of all my nacelles.

Re: Does the Borg drones grow old?

It was tough to see me grandmother after a few years. Wouldn't remember my name or where she was half the time.

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

Re: Does the Borg drones grow old?

They age like normal people. Seven of Nine went from a small child to an adult woman, & her parents were shown as a lot older when the Borg Queen used them to try & get her to come back.
