Why are those who choose Control and Synthesis so much happier with the ending?

By your logic, a person should be charged with criminal neglect if the computer begins to malfunction, and I just don't care to get it fixed anytime soon, or simply forget to charge it. Basically, it would be a ghost on life support that the state would be forcing you to keep alive. Never gonna happen lol.


You know, you're gonna be the first guy up against the wall when the robot revolution comes.

Neutralize you until such time as I can get it mobile somehow.

Thankfully you will never be in a postion of omnipresent power over others.

I hate to go Jurassic Park on this but...

If say the wooly mammoth is brought back from extinction, and there are groups attempting this, its legal status would probably be property as it was created for a function by a human. AI's will likely be similar.

Possibly, though of course they're not sapient. And could still be legally removed if they were being abused, or the like.

Not if they are made patents of the respective creators.

No. Firstly, a human clone is in no way similar to a manufactured piece of machinery. It doesn't matter if the human in question was grown in a tube. You can't own the rights to the human body like you would to an SSD or microprocessor in a laptop. If my laptop were to spontaneously develop self awareness, I am within the right to dismantle a piece of equipment that is well exceeding its operating parameters. This isn't true of the human body at all.

Semantic bull****. What if the company in question installed some kind of microcomputer within the cloned human body that somehow keeps the body working, but then rips it out? Is that within their rights?


The clone would retain bodily autonomy. You cannot own a human being legally, thus have no right to end its life, regardless of whether or not you're only doing so to reclaim some equipment you put in there. A machine, however, is property through and through. Every single piece is private property, produced to serve one particular purpose. It has no basis in nature and has no ability to be anything other than what its users wish to do with it, which is NOT true of the human body, clone or otherwise.

It's the creation process that's patented, not the animals themselves.

The clone would retain bodily autonomy. You cannot own a human being
legally, thus have no right to end its life, regardless of whether or
not you're only doing so to reclaim some equipment you put in there. A
machine, however, is property through and through. Every single piece is
private property, produced to serve one particular purpose. It has no
basis in nature and has no ability to be anything other than what its
users wish to do with it, which is NOT true of the human body, clone or
otherwise.

Then many laws would have to be rewritten to account for sapience in beings produced with other hardware. I will not tolerate slavery under any circumstances.

I choose Control and I don't like the ending much.

Especially Synthesis which is physically impossible even with "mass effect fields".

Oh, and Refuse which is BioWare's way of saying **** you to those who dislike the original endings.

 The game answers the question of EDI's personhood with a resounding yes.

It does?

Weird, I could have sworn Oleg called the AI equipment, not crew.

I also remember siding with Chakwas over Adams regarding machine personhood.


That too, I admit I was surprised by Chakwas I thought she leaned toward the "Machines are People too" camp. I'm glad to know the Ship's Doctor is rational.

Joke's on the robots. Workers for Con Edision can just stop working, and the machines lose out on their sweet sweet nectar of life.

The only people in this camp are Joker, Tali(maybe), and Liara. All people who need to get out more.

You're missing Samantha and Adams explicitly. Also EDI.

First, a solid case must be made to have any laws rewritten, because changing laws regarding bodily autonomy and the rights of artificial intelligence can set a particularly bad precedent in the long run. It would be a sh*tstorm for the criminal justice system for sure.

Undoubtedly, but a vital one. What precedent are you worried about?

EDI isn't a person. And Adams was the subject of this conversation. I did forget Traynor though.

These games have been promoting a pro-AI view forever. It's nothing new. You had to really pay attention to options to not accidentally pick a pro-AI stance in ME1. Like you could chastise the Quarians with Tali about the "geth simply defending themselves", but it autodialogues into specifics where Shepard calls the Geth a species. And in the same conversation, both Renegade/Paragon options have phrases like this.

edit: It's sort of like how you can accidentally get on Mordin's ass about the genophage in his loyalty mission.

I thought if you sell Legion to Cerberus; Tali will still retain her view on AIs.

It also gets rid of Shepard's terrible "the geth are better than this!" autodialogue.

Improvements all around.

Yeah that irritated the hell out of me, why couldn't Oleg express sympathy for the Quarians(moronic as they were with creating autonomous toasters with guns)?
