Duplicating via transporter accident 👍
Merging via transporter accident 👎

Clearly, what Janeway should've done is Riker'd the Tuvix and then only murdered one of the copies.

    Does Tuvix have two species, or none?

    I would say none.
    Maybe to be a member of a species requires at least a history of a single breeding pair?

    Tertiary question: we know that Vulcans/Romulans were descendents of the Progenitors, but are Talaxians?

    If not, it might not be technically possible for them to interbreed at all, meaning that a Vulcan/Talaxian hybrid could never occur naturally, and also that Tuvix would probably be genetically incompatible with everything and everyone. Therefore, no species - only an anomaly produced by a freak transporter accident.

    well yeah. data is an artificial human. so is tom riker (he was made artificially not having this debate). exocomps, uh, shut up. nanites and crystalline entities aren't human, they get nanite and crystalline entity rights. and tuvixen are unique, so they don't get rights.

    Tuvix is more of a trolley problem situation.

    And isn't the crystalline entity a mass murderer or something? Idk, it's been a while.

    As far as I can recall the entity killed a planet. It was unaware that the planet was inhabitated. Upon discovering that these meat bags are sentient, it attempted to communicate with us and we blasted it.
