      And risk being tapped on your shoulder by the police to be summoned to a lab so scientists and doctors could experiment on you or 'volunteer' you into going through a prototype of a psi gate?

        Except I’d be the one doing the experiments.

        You also seem to have a rather grim view of how the University would function. Less restrictions, if any, would exist on the pursuit of knowledge. That by no means indicated that people will be dragged off the streets and taken to be experimented on. There’s plenty of criminals on which that can be done.

          Indeed Cormade the CyCon would be better for such a thing.

            Perhaps, Voltaire. That's my impression I got based on the gameplay and information on the faction and the guy himself. Ethics doesn't mean squat to him.

              Yang has a better sense of ethics than Zakharov, in my not so humble opinion.

                I agree, Frankychan. Yang's persceptive on life is very harsh for many people but he does have ethics. However those are communal-based, very much so like China. If few hundreds die in order that millions may live, so be it.

                      And Aki has the most perfect sense of ethics, in my most logic opinion

                        Good old Zak just seems to be a positivist, in which case it is not so much that ethics means squat to him, but rather there is no ethics at all.

                          LOL, I have no idea why cyborgs would top it, you'd have to abandon your humanity. I'd have to give up creativity, art, sexuality, and a general good time. Who would want THAT?!

                              Why, every 'borg can have a good time (i.e. playing tetris in his head, while performing his tasks). And not all research is done by sifting through all possibilities, a sprank of creativity is always a necessity. Art, well, geometric patterns can be considered art as well. And sexuality, awkard or not, it needs to be done for the Greater Good of the Conscieusness, er?

                                I still like the Angels. I am an anarchist myself. Onetime, i through a raisin at school, and well, for the end results, 7 kids got suspenced, and I didn't even get a detention. Now that's a true anarchist.
