"If the essence of life is information carried in DNA, then society and civilization are just colossal memory systems and a metropolis like this one, simply a sprawling external memory."

Hardly. Javik had "flashes" of those who were there. If this was true, he would've known Grunt and Jack's names and what they've done, what they thought, etc.

To be harvested by the Reapers is not to be killed.
The essence of Harvested people is still alive, preserved in the Reaper form.
Killing a Reaper is a crime. Crime equal to the genocide. And total disrespect of the ones who came before us.


Bwahahaha!!   keep it up, you are killing me!:lol::lol::lol:

So Seival, let me get this straight. It's okay for the Reapers to commit genocide on us, but it's not okay for us to commit "genocide" on the Reapers?



Some things are just that simple.

Yea, he's had difficulty with the loss of his good friend Wulfie. It's nice that he can still make it back every now and then.

We I have been away too long, Wulfie's loss was a crippling blow to us Reapers the enlightened.

The destruction of Wulfie has left me scarred and disoriented.

But I assure you my resolve has NEVER been stronger!!!

Every sapient being capable of: "I think therefore I am" has a right to their own life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, as long as those rights do not infringe upon the same rights of other sapients. Even if OP claims that Reapers "store one's essence as information" the very act of violently harvesting sapient life infringes upon all three of these rights because it gives the victim no choice whether he/she/it wants to join the Reaper's collective conscience.

Slight digression here, but: Seeing that the Reapers have so viciously infringed upon the rights of countless sapients for countless cycles, their right to "life" or whatever kind of existence they have is forfeit. Most people would not simply let historical mass murderers such as Pol Pot and Stalin walk away. The same idea applies to the Reapers. Storing "life" in Reaper form will never excuse the violence they have inflicted against the rights and freedoms of of sapient beings.

So you're saying that we get free smoothies if we allow ourselves to be ground up into Reaper bits?! *sigh* I guess I can't argue that.--But they'd better be good smoothies! I'm very particular about my smoothies!

You get to BE a smoothie.  That's a whole lot different from getting a smoothie.  You're, like a smoothie mixed with all sorts of other smoothies.  And you're happy about it!  Don't you say otherwise! Image IPBImage IPB

Getting back on topic, Another example that disproves that DNA is memory in the ME Universe is CloneShep. His DNA is exactly the same as Shepard's, yet the game explicitly points out that the memories are not retained, creating two separate and distinct personalities
