Human rights? The very name is racist.
Speciesist
Does Tuvix have two species, or none?
Of course he has tu, it’s in the name
I would say none.
Maybe to be a member of a species requires at least a history of a single breeding pair?Not all species reproduce sexually. Not all sexual reproduction involves pairs.
“A single Tuvix is a curiosity. A wonder, even. But thousands of Tuvixes – isn’t that becoming a race?”
Tertiary question: we know that Vulcans/Romulans were descendents of the Progenitors, but are Talaxians?
If not, it might not be technically possible for them to interbreed at all, meaning that a Vulcan/Talaxian hybrid could never occur naturally, and also that Tuvix would probably be genetically incompatible with everything and everyone. Therefore, no species - only an anomaly produced by a freak transporter accident.
we don’t let tuvixen reproduce. it’s in the charter.
Duplicating via transporter accident 👍
Merging via transporter accident 👎Clearly, what Janeway should’ve done is Riker’d the Tuvix and then only murdered one of the copies.
It appears that perhaps a transporter accident has duplicated this post…
Our screwy Mastodon federation strikes again…
Tuvix is more of a trolley problem situation.
And isn’t the crystalline entity a mass murderer or something? Idk, it’s been a while.
@MousePotatoDoesStuff yep, but don’t mass murders and all those on the trolly tracks deserve human rights?
