I believe technically speaking anyone who wears glasses is a cyborg. Also medical implants of various types (hip replacements, even rudimentary auditory replacements) have been used for a number of years.
Strictly speaking MI6 and GCHQ are very different organisations. MI6 is an espionage body while GCHQ is, if you like, an espionage service provider.
My understanding is that the NSA is similar. If you're going to inlucde MI6 you should probably include the CIA as well. If you're not going to include the CIA you probably shouldn't include MI6.
As to whether we can trust them, I trust them to do what they think is best for the country. However what they think is best and what I think is best may be two entirely different things.
