Actually, that reminds me more of cyborg technology.
*He steps back now that he's torn through all the scored marks.*
Human corpses revived and enhanced with mechanical parts for tasks too dangerous to assign to ordinary humans. Though in that case, the original soul was preserved and the cyborg had the same memories and personality it had in life. Of course, since they were considered government property at that point and have no legal rights, there have been some ethical concerns there as well. Production stopped around a hundred years ago and the process is illegal now.
