Re: ENT S2: Cogenitor

@Verroak, I Agree

@Andy's Friend,
You are totally missing the point.

It's not about what's at stake.
That's a political question.

The question is a moral one.

"Human" rights are universal and should really be called "Rights of Sentient Beings".

It is universally wrong for one sentient being to enslave another sentient being.

Hence Archers decision to deny the cogenitor's request for asylum is morally wrong.

For him to do it on political grounds is another question. But do we really want to be friends with a race that enslaves, objectifies and de-"human"-izes an entire gender?

This just makes the ending so utterly disgusting and illogical.
That Archer sits on a moral high horse and places the responsibility solely on Trip when it's his own decision that caused "it's" death.
