Who's/What's Tuvix?
Further to the link. Tuvix is a character in star trek voyager. There is a transporter accident that ends up welding 2 other characters (Lieutenant Tuvok, Neelix) into 1 individual. The episode is spent trying to resolve this issue.
By the end, Captain Janeway is given a solution. They can reverse the process and recover Tuvok and Neelix. Unfortunately this will destroy Tuvix. Tuvix, meanwhile has developed on his own. He doesn't want to die and makes that clear. Janeway has the dilemma. She can do nothing, and let Tuvix live, or kill him to bring Tuvok and Neelix back.
Basically, it's the trolley problem. Do nothing, and 2 people die, or kill 1 yourself, to save them.
Could you please resolve the question for people that did not watch star trek. What did she do?
Let's just say Tuvix is only in one episode
Yes, where there's lots of other merged people to play with and space to run around
To give some context, if I remember correctly, Tuvix wasn't just "clearly against the split". He was desperately trying to save his own life, crying out "doesn't anyone see that this is wrong??", before they essentially killed him.
Undid the process and restored Neelix and Tuvok, thereby killing Tuvix.
