They are self aware, capable of feeling, decision making, planning and forming memories, and as far as I could tell nothing was brought up to imply that they aren't mentally the same as any living person. Did I miss something?

The writing was set up to force us into an "us or them" situation, which is... hamfisted, but fine. But the happy-happy heroic celebration afterwards did not at all mirror my mood when the credits were rolling. Like what the hell? We may have just committed genocide, at least feel bad about it for more than a few minutes?

I'm seriously not sure if I missed something important, because as is there is a very easy parallel to be drawn between our heroes and one of our previous major villains.
It's a major philosophical conundrum that they just sorta... gleaned over.
