Är Lt. Commander Data från Star Trek: The Next Generation vid liv? Detta har verkligen varit förvirrande för mig eftersom Data är en android som är säker på att heck verkar levande!
Lagligen har data reglerats av Doktoradvokat i Starfleet till inte vara vid liv, men att fortfarande vara en sentient entity med självbestämmanderätten .
PHILLIPA: It sits there looking at me, and I don't know what it is. This case has dealt with metaphysics, with questions best left to saints and philosophers.

No. We have all been dancing around the basic issue. Does Data have a soul? I don't know that he has. I don't know that I have. But I have got to give him the freedom to explore that question himself. It is the ruling of this court that Lieutenant Commander Data has the freedom to choose.

TORRES: I guess, you could say that the robots we use are servants in a manner of speaking. But they aren't sentient like you. In fact, we have only one sentient artificial life form in our society, and he is treated the same as any human.
3947: The same? He is equal to a Builder?
TORRES: That's right. He works on a ship just like you or I. He wears the same uniform I do.
För en större uppfattning rekommenderar jag starkt att du tittar på TNG: Measure of a Man sedan hela avsnittet ägnas åt denna fråga.
