In this star trek episode, a Borg is captured/ rescued by the crew. They decide to use this Borg in order to destroy his race by implanting a virus in his system. However, as they experiment of him, they find that without the Collective, he functions similarly to a normal human. Realizing that he is a man, they decide to not infect him. He then chooses to go back to the Borg in order to allow his new friends to escape.
The version of the Frankenstein complex portrayed in this episode is different from what we have seen before. In this case, a species has made themselves into a collective of robots and travels the universe searching for species to assimilate. Man kind is fearful of these creatures because they have no free will, and are thus the ultimate form of punishment for a human.
