Questionable ethics - Living Memory

[Turtledeluxe]

But that exactly where the problem lies. They have the memories of the dead people their personality, they're shown making new choices. They have individuality, their own capacity of judgement, their own memories and the capacity of creating new ones. Is that enough to be considered alive? For some, yes, for others no. It's a philosophical question as old as the humanity : "what is being alive", which lead to divisives questions that go from abortion to sentience of artificial intellingence. It's really deep question. Here the game doesn't answer to what it is, but definitely answer to what is not, without delving enough in the reason why they're not, as if it was obvious. It's not that obvious. For people that feels like the eternals met the conditions to be considered alive, this whole section feels wrong.

The story choose to tackle a deeply philosophical question while not wanting to talk about it at all. Hence the very divisive reception of that part.

How can you be a copy of a human being and not be able to make new choices? What are you talking about?

Only thing divided imo is people trolling and people who just took the story for what it is.

Sorry if it's dismissive but the "this isn't philosophical enough for me" kinda falls flat when you don't really make any sense to begin with.

And I mean that seriously. At what point are you a copy of the person do you become unable to use your brain??? Why would Sphene even invent that kind of system?
