Human physiology, genetics, and body-related assets are all hardware. Given sufficient technology individual parts can be replaced, repaired, optimized, etc. A man who loses a hand in an accident - regardless of replacing it or not - still resides under the Human condition, because what makes a "human" is all software, or the mix of memories, emotions, personality traits etc. that comprise what we refer to as the "soul".

By that reasoning, a car must have a soul. After all, I can repair, replace, and optimize it. If I remove a wheel or a headlight, it's still a car.

I am not sure if going into religious debates is a good idea...

You missed my point about 'software' and got side-tracked on the other terminology. No Human female has ever given birth to a car.

At least, not that I know of...

... Sansha and other 'kill all humans' factions is rather self-evident and require no explanation.

In short, the Amarr might get flak for what they do and why, but there are other, infinitely worse offenders out there, and all will be judged by their actions and beliefs, set in context to whom they are and from where, etc.

I am interested in an expanded dialogue on this particular point.

*EDIT* Btw, I love your avatars. :cube: What are they from?

I see. We could argue the merits, for instance I find the notion of trying to retain purely 'human' characteristics very restrictive. As food for thought, old sciences considered it inviolable that the Sun orbited the Earth. The audacity to challenge that notion and find reasoning led to... well.

As for my avatar, refer to here and here.
