She is totally one of my faves. I wasn't even aware of all this stuff about Tuvix until I joined lemmy, personally I don't think she did anything wrong either
If I could reverse engineer your dead parents from your DNA, but it would kill you, have I therefore a moral imperative to deconstruct you, even against your will?
That is a bad faith argument. You're ignoring the entire context of the situation. On top of that, you're narrowly compacting the actual ethical/moral situation at hand.
I'm down for an actual discussion, if you want, but not if it's gonna be like that. The discussion around Tuvix is not as black or white as you're painting it out to be.
I’m not ignoring the context of the situation, there are good arguments for returning Tuvix to his previous selves, but “needs of the many” isn’t one of them.
Ultimately we’re talking about a ridiculous dilemma though, so I don’t know it needs to be this serious.
You are ignoring the context of the situation with your previous analogy. That's what I meant. Needs of the many also is one of them when two crew members (with their own personal relationships and responsibilities) is better for the crew than a single crew member.
Also I offered a serious discussion. Didn't say you were specifically beholden to it. I am sorry though that I took it a bit more seriously than intended there. Genuinely.

How can you listen to Tuvix’s desperate begging and say that?
Needs of the many
