From Cyborgs, pg. 70:

"...some folks...expect that even if the dead do walk, they surely don't breathe
(and they don't have to if they don't want to, although it sure comes in handy
when trying to talk to someone)."

Harrowed do need lungs, or a reasonable substitute, to talk. I imagine that
cyber torsos include some sort of air compressor to keep the can yakking.
