And you need only read Global Frequency to see a possible downside.) This is leaving out the possibility that the C-series are designed to enjoy killing (it's viable, but wouldn't explain Sylvie and Anri. They also seem to enjoy their work, and I expect that in order to get a model capable of that level of independent action, you have to have a 'brain' that develops likes and dislikes. The stealth combat models in Crisis, for instance, are smart enough to perform espionage and wetwork undirected.

The more sophisticated models tend to show a lot more personality - possibly as a design intent, but also possibly because, working from the basic design (which, if I'm remembering correctly, was supposed to be a parallel allied species of sentients, not a servant race), you can't get the processing power you need for sophisticated thoughts without also giving the thing enough brainpower to think things you might not want it to. This means, in essence, that you couldn't precisely, uh, 'un-enslave' a labor boomer, because it lacks the capacity to direct itself, but that doesn't mean that it isn't morally questionable to construct boomers and put them to work for life - for the same reason that it remains a bad deed to do something cruel to someone that doesn't understand what you've done or why they should feel wronged. The laboring boomers are essentially using a lobotomized and/or immature brain, while more sophisticated models have, for various purposes, more advanced intellects. Tal game, but I always got the sensation that (post-ADP and Crash, anyway) Boomer 'brains' were based off of human brains.

My understanding of BGC canon has been, I fear, irrevocably damaged by supposition and supplementary stuff like the R. But GENOM is playing around with the human + robot bits with some of their cutting edge stuff, or failed earlier tech. In my view, most of the Boomers in BGC are robot + human bits. Robot + human bits = no more enslavable than a factory construction machine, wrapped in HUMAN FLESH! (It's a union thing. then I think we're getting into the realm of something that should be allowed freedom to make its own choice. If they start tapping their fingers, whistling, writing a play, or wasting time for their own pleasure. What happens? If they stay there, (assuming they haven't been programed to ape the behavour of bored humans), and do nothing, then they're machines and can't be enslaved. Ie: if you put them in a blank room and tell them to wait for further instructions. The nervous system is still (partially) human, allowing for the issue of slavery, not because they're partially human, but because they have the concept of deciding for themselves outside of programing.

In that case, they're still robots, just like the Terminator.ДЄnother kind of cyborg is the human base + robotic parts.

(Ignoring any and all nerve cells needed to make skin actually work). Click to expand.Technically, that's correct, but I think there's a significant difference in how the cyborg label should be applied.ДЄre they simply robots with some human parts like the skin? Because in that case, they're really still robots, just using non-nervous system human bits for some functional purpose.
