I'm not sure which I like better.

 

The blatant mischaracterization of the batarians by letting Kai Leng come to Khar'shan more or less unopposed, or Kai Leng's character assassination itself.

It didn't happen!

That book is a myth!

Like the Baldur's Gate novels?

Yes!

Did you know that in 3 years (from 2183 to 2186), one can age 6 years, going from 12 years old to 18? William C. Dietz knows.

 

Did you know that autism just sort of goes away over time? William C. Dietz knows.

Well to be fair you can smoke in ME and cancer stopped being a issue decades before.

._. Most genetic illnesses can be cured before birth and of course you have the technology to even reverse death.

So Autism being cured if it was wrote that way isn't exactly out of the realm of possibility.

God that book.

There's being cured of a disease, and then there's the disease just going away with no explanation. Like autism is the common cold, where you'll be fine so long as you just wash your hands and blow your nose. Also no, genetic illnesses cannot be "cured" before birth, because most genetic disorders aren't illnesses that can be readily cured like the common cold or the flu. The best that's possible now is to lessen the severity of people who are afflicted with the illnesses.

 

And mentioning the Lazarus project is a bit of a pull. Miranda, TIM, and the Lazarus audio logs all make it a point to say that the project might never be recreated, due to it being prohibitively expensive, and the fact that everyone who worked on it is dead besides Miranda, among other reasons.

[Master Warder Z_]

Like I said if it was wrote that way, Autism shouldn't be a major issue in a universe when you can take a spinal injection and have muscular dystrophy cured.

I was actually mentioning President Hurtea.

He had a VI installed in his brain after he suffered a stroke and was dead for several hours.

Death reversed, Brain damage mitigated.

[o Ventus]

In Huerta's case, his death wasn't reversed, nor was the brain damaged mitigated. His brain functions were mapped to a computer, he didn't have a VI installed into his head. Huerta is dead. That whole affair turned into a worldwide scandal, and one of Huerta's doctors came forward and testified that Huerta was dead for too long to make a full recovery.

 

The doctor's exact words: "Expert witnesses were introduced today in the Systems Alliance trial of Ford v. Huerta, starting with the petitioner's side. Dr. Samuel Wachhaus testified today that President Huerta was brain-dead for too long to make a full recovery. Questioned on Huerta's apparent cognitive health afterward, Wachhaus testified that the VI ran Huerta's artificial memory so successfully that it took over his brain functions so that "there was no Huerta anymore. This is not a person with a VI memory, it's a VI with a partially-organic operating system"

 

The one person who testified on the behalf of Huerta, is implied to be lying.

[Siha]

And for a while there I wondered why you were discussing Victoriano Huerta in the first place, and how installing a VI was even possible in the beginning of the 20th century and why I've never heard of this before. 

I did not pay enough attention to ME it seems.

[Master Warder Z_]

I read the same network report you know.

._.

So ...how exactly is this disproval of the point? He's alive, a century before and he would have been buried.

So yeah, nitpick if you like but the point I made is this.

Medical technology is at the highest place it has been in history.

[Master Warder Z_]

You griping semantics doesn't change that.

[Malthier]

Written.

 

 Written is the past participle of write. 

 

How's that for semantics, sucka.

Have you not played Bioshock Infinite? If they can create a flying city and travel through time in 1896, then by god they can put a man's brain in a computer.

You said "death reversed, brain damage mitigated", and that couldn't be farther from the truth. He's dead, and his brain damage certainly wasn't mitigated.

As Morrigan so aptly put.

Whut.

[Master Warder Z_]

Debatable as hell.

You would need to establish a concept of justifying what is or isn't cognitive thought first and fore most then you would need to establish if the character in question does or does not posses it.

Your talking to a guy who agreed with the Major from Hellsing that it is WILL not flesh that grants humanity.

So...establish that he lacks it and he becomes less then human, not before.

[Br3admax]

Like the Baldur's Gate novels?

Yeah, D&D just keeps showing how terrible it is my canonizing those over (parts of)the games. 

[Master Warder Z_]

It makes me miss gen 3.5...*sighs*

Oddly enough, I always wondered how the FTL drives got around relativistic time dilation.

Wait...it did?

[Master Warder Z_]

I thought their ships could only do short transitional sublight bursts outside of a relay.

[o Ventus]

Not really? If someone is dead, then they're dead, done deal. Huerta had a stroke and DIED. They mapped his brain to a computer, but Huerta is dead. As per the doctor, there's no Huerta anymore. It's not a person with a VI memory, it's a VI with a partly organic OS.

 

 

 

You would need to establish a concept of justifying what is or isn't cognitive thought first and fore most then you would need to establish if the character in question does or does not posses it.

 

Huerta had a stroke that left him brain dead for an hour and a half (no matter how advanced your medicine is, when your in a vegetative state like that for an hour and half, there WILL be irreparable brain damage, unless you dilute "cognitive thought" down to an extremely simplistic definition that eliminates any meaning.

Your talking to a guy who agreed with the Major from Hellsing that it is WILL not flesh that grants humanity.

 

I don't know what any of these things mean.
 

 

So...establish that he lacks it and he becomes less then human, not before.

 

You were the one who first brought up Huerta, the onus is on you.

[Master Warder Z_]

It's not a person with a VI memory

According to one source in a vague account.

The doctor could also call Pluto a dwarf planetoid in place of a planet but it retains enough mass to possess a gravitational field.

Just as the man in question is still a human, he still lives, nothing in that account even offered anything on the mental facilities of the president, merely what a doctor made of them afterwards.

You said the onus is on me? There you go.

There is no reasonable assertion beyond a single second hand account that lacks detail.

Make of it what you will.
