I love that people are still on about this. I agreed with Janeway because it fits Spock’s motto about the needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few, but the fact that people are still arguing it 30 years later means there’s no good answer. It’s a trolley problem or Sophie’s choice kind of thing.
And the new Voyager game lets you go the other way… and I can’t wait to hear how that outcome plays out over the course of the game.
I liked Lower Decks contribution to this debate. Maybe with one merge it’s debatable, but beyond that the answer becomes clearer.
As for the Voyager game, it’s not elaborated on. Tuvix is a pretty good hero, has both the Talaxian and Vulcan traits, comes in real handy on some away missions, but it may be better to have separate Tuvok and Neelix to hold down two stations instead of one. Still debatable, but the way the game works the story doesn’t really adapt to it.
That’s a shame. Not really my kind of game (strategy), but I am interested. I suppose if it goes on sale on Xbox I’ll pick it up. I think it’s on PC, but not Mac, so playing on the computer is out.
But anyway, it seems like there should be some trade-off, not just the moral high ground of not sacrificing a “new life form”.
