Like Ronald Reagan, much of my life appears to be remembered through movies
;-)
Check out Sigourney Weaver in "Alien Resurrection" and then let us know what
you all think. There is one scene (without spoiling the movie) that really
made me rethink notions of cloning etc: It doesn't always work out
perfectly.
Anyhow, my vote is that creating a slave is slavery and I oppose it. Even if
they don't. I also believe that free thought necessarily entails a desire
for freedom, so I hold the thought experiment of sentient being who loves
slavery to be null.
