re: #147 Targetpractice
Well that wasn’t a feeling exclusive to Data. Worf also had that going for him, but it was more the “alien trying to fit into a culture that is at odds with his own.”
Worf had rights, Data had to have a trial to determine if he did.
Very much silimar to the Positronic Man —later made into (I THINK) the movie The Bicentennial Man.
In the book, the character had to die to be considered human.(to be recognized as having civil rights)
