garrus' face when he took the rocket: docs had to resort to surgery and cybernetics as a quick fix. -jacob ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL2ZMPbVnqo <-here, around 10 minute mark)

actually most everybody in the ME universe had cybernetic implants to some degree (like the ones on fingers if you're a heavy user of optical keyboard interfaces) and it's clearly shown in destroy that while machinery were affected only intelligences were wiped in their entirety: ships were shown blinking lights, not dead. the same can be logically assumed for people with cybernetics.

so the anon's point was invalid in this regard either way.
