No.  Baltar's Cylon detector showed that she physically was not not a human (I forget how exactly the detector works; something like the artificial, silicon based cells of humanoid Cylons can't hold up to radiation to well and after prolonged exposure degenerate a little).  They still have to explain to us the exact nature of the humanoid Cylons, but it is apparent that they aren't fully biological creatures:  I think they're made of synthetic chemicals bases (silicon, etc) and they have Silica Relays running through their body; I mean they can transmit their consciousness and thoughts over vast distances just using whatever's in their brain.

Are *ANY* of the humanoid Cylons based on real people?  We don't know.  But the Galactica-Boomer was definately not an original. -- Ricimer, 11 Sept, 2005.

Was Sharon a real person, once?

Caprica Boomer notes that humano-Cylons are not wired into each other's brains, so they don't share knowledge directly. However, she was aware of events in the fleet, which means some level of data from Galactica Boomer was received. She also recollects to Starbuck on the first time they met in the Delphi Museum. Could the Sharon that Starbuck knew was a real human, her consciousness cloned into a series of Cylon copies? Food for thought. Spencerian 16:52, 22 Aug 2005 (EDT)
