This barrage of hate against Katfish is making me cackle. Keep it coming!
She is totally one of my faves. I wasn't even aware of all this stuff about Tuvix until I joined lemmy, personally I don't think she did anything wrong either
How can you listen to Tuvix’s desperate begging and say that?
Tuvix was more effective than both Tuvok and Neelix and comsumed less resources. Needs of the many should actually lead to more crew fusions, not less.
If I could reverse engineer your dead parents from your DNA, but it would kill you, have I therefore a moral imperative to deconstruct you, even against your will?
I’m not ignoring the context of the situation, there are good arguments for returning Tuvix to his previous selves, but “needs of the many” isn’t one of them.
Ultimately we’re talking about a ridiculous dilemma though, so I don’t know it needs to be this serious.
