Hm. The question of whether the clone soldier infomorph is a human being is ultimately the question of what a "human" is.

It's rather open to interpretation, but what's really significant is that the question can be reasonably asked in good faith. It's not asked only to undercut or dehumanize us-- it's a real question.

The answer may matter less than the question does.

Notice I said "function like a human being."

Ryeon-haani and I have traded thoughts on the question of if we are still human. It's an internal conflict that shreds most of our kind, and for good reason. I've come to find that the actual answer to this question however is irrelevant. Whatever I am, I walk among the living. I feel human, I look human, I think like a human.

The only thing that separates us from a scientific monstrosity and a weapon is how much we can convince ourselves that this mask we wear is our true form. People like Foley, however break the illusion and threaten the one bit of faux security we have in this world.
