    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.
