Not okay with Latha? Latha's reaction to Jinsil can vary from "you betrayed me, you asshole" to "eh it's okay". Why isn't implementing Galatea's plan an option? Unethical to Central, so our heroes won't possibly go along with it? Murdering her and replacing her with an imbecile who would act in her exact manner apparently isn't (it's not what Nina does, but we don't know that when making the choice). I can see why he would assign them a nonzero value, but the increased value of the embryos to him also makes the extortionists correspondingly more evil (and untrustworthy!)ĥ. Fucking around with people's genetic material does not, for fuck's sake eating yourself or a dead person's clone is perfectly legal, no authorization needed. And the practice isn't banned in Newton, because why would it be? Experimentation on embryos requires a permit. He doesn't think an embryo is a human being, because they were going to check for birth defects and dispose of the defective embryos, if any. He doesn't consider reproductive technologies icky. He doesn't consider it immoral to fuck with Viksha's genome, as evidenced by the tree. Why can't Charlie make more embryos? He's a scientist. How did she end up with a Sri Lankan culturally assigned name, after Viksha, if her origin is a mystery? She's not Sri Lankan, she's Newtonian.Ĥ. How did Latha end up on welfare, anyway, if she's so precious? We see how extremely dangerous life in the underworld is.ģ. I love the scene, but to make its implications not stupid, whoever ended up ordering the bomb planted should have wanted her death (and then adjusted the plan when she survived).Ģ. Why send Charlie to kill her? Nothing whatsoever in that situation is under her control, and Latha escapes in the last possible moment. The central plot/conflict, however, is terrible. I don't regret playing it, the game is shinyawesome, the worldbuilding is fantastic, production values are stellar. Unfortunately Technobabylon wasn't an exception. Whenever a game deals with science and ethics, the result tends to be terrible.
