>>23355699Weyland was supposed to be born in 1990, the ship in alien earth sets out on it's mission in 2055, so he would have been 65 around the time cybernetics were commonly used. Presumably the crew was in cryo for the vast majority of the time they were on their 65 year mission. There's no real guarantee that replacing bits of your body with cybernetic parts is a total hedge against aging. Furthermore if this new dispute between, synths, cybernetics, and transferring consciousness may provide a reasonable explanation for why weyland didn't go down the cybernetics pathway, he was already trying to sort of recreate himself with david. Stands to reason he simply didn't agree with the idea of becoming a cyborg, or that he was looking for a way to restore his actual biology by learning from the space jockeys. I wouldn't call this a plot hole imo.
