Heh... I recall this scene in the (later) BSG where one of the human-form Cylons was complaining bitterly about why he was stuck in this weak, largely biological body when he felt the previous Cylons that were made of metal were vastly sturdier!
Then there was a comment in a science fiction story I read many years ago where one (human) character was lamenting why humans didn't evolve stainless steel bones. The second character stated this was ridiculous, for how could metal grow?
To which the first character noted-- "How does stone grow?"

Except maybe to humans?
