If someone concludes that it's fine for them to eat cows because cows never invented computers, then there's not really much of an argument against aliens turning us into meat slurry because they have the 4-chambered quantum brains needed to invent hyperdrive and we don't, is there?
One of the few genuinely impressive things i encountered in the CP77 game. You get a side mission to rescue some monks who were kidnapped to be forcefully implanted with 'ware against their will. You end up rescuing them.
Later you can encounter them again. When you ask them if they think Johnny, or any other engram, is a real person one of them says that if the engram is able to suffer then it in alive and has a soul.
