Questionable ethics - Living Memory

[Turtledeluxe]

The Endless are copies of sentient beings. What people are really getting at is what I've always said, they're not really the original person who died. They are a new instance of the person who is running on memories prior to their death. So it's extremely debatable to look at an intangible copy of a sentient being purely acting based on memories (and not the original conscious experience) and call that sentient. Just being self aware or able to learn doesn't automatically make something sentient.

As far as sentience, it's not clear that they're actually feeling emotions or dreaming for example. All that's clear is that those behaviors are coded in their memory aether.

It's not like Cachiua never learned, engineered or traveled before becoming an Endless for example.

Whats garbage imo, is stopping at the most basic understanding of sentience and ignoring all the context around it. There's a practicality in distinguishing continuity regarding the original consciousness.
