In Robocop 2 the scientific team explains that all their previous attempts to make a cyborg cop failed because the humans would figure out what they’ve become and would kill themselves. It finally worked with Murphy because his devout Irish Catholic beliefs conditioned him against suicide. But like you mentioned, that same moral code is what kept Murphy from being totally corrupted by OCP.
Interesting too that they listen to focus groups to reprogram him as an SJW and it's a massive failure. Sequel was even more ahead of it's time and would never be made today.
and creates a transhuman cop that the corporation can control...
Only at first, then his humanity come to the fore.

Well, it was co-written by Frank Miller; say what you will about the guy, but he's no SJW.
