Human rights? The very name is racist.

well yeah. data is an artificial human. so is tom riker (he was made artificially not having this debate). exocomps, uh, shut up. nanites and crystalline entities aren't human, they get nanite and crystalline entity rights. and tuvixen are unique, so they don't get rights.

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...

Does Tuvix have two species, or none?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

we don't let tuvixen reproduce. it's in the charter.

[-] Steve@communick.news 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I would say none.
Maybe to be a member of a species requires at least a history of a single breeding pair?

"A single Tuvix is a curiosity. A wonder, even. But thousands of Tuvixes -- isn't that becoming a race?"

Not all species reproduce sexually. Not all sexual reproduction involves pairs.

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.

Of course he has tu, it's in the name
