  Duplicating via transporter accident 👍 Merging via transporter accident 👎

  Clearly, what Janeway should’ve done is Riker’d the Tuvix and then only murdered one of the copies.

    It appears that perhaps a transporter accident has duplicated this post…

    So that leaves one to take apart so you can make more?

    Does Tuvix have two species, or none?

    • Steve@communick.news ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I would say none. Maybe to be a member of a species requires at least a history of a single breeding pair?

  Tuvix is more of a trolley problem situation.

  And isn’t the crystalline entity a mass murderer or something? Idk, it’s been a while.

    As far as I can recall the entity killed a planet. It was unaware that the planet was inhabitated. Upon discovering that these meat bags are sentient, it attempted to communicate with us and we blasted it.

  well yeah. data is an artificial human. so is tom riker (he was made artificially not having this debate). exocomps, uh, shut up. nanites and crystalline entities aren’t human, they get nanite and crystalline entity rights. and tuvixen are unique, so they don’t get rights.
