    Do Cylons Dream of Cyborg Sheep? ( Discussing Morality in the BSG Universe)

    Having just read this very interesting article at Den of Geek I thought I would pass
    it along to fellow BSG fans here on the board.

    http://www.denofgeek.com/television/13606/new_battlestar_galactica_interview_sheds_light_on_cylon_rights.html

     

    As for for the title of the post, I just rewatched Blade Runner for the first time in a long time (not the final cut sadly) & it got me thinking about the parallels between it and BSG (that & ejo is in both) & how we as a species tend to put more value on some forms of life while devalueing others. I found my self thinking
    " who's to say a human life is more valuable than a replecant or cylon ? " It's like the age-old addage, you can kill hundred of people in a movie & no one bats an eye, but you kill one dog & they're up in arms.

    Any ways just some food for thought.

    All life is prescious ... it is or superiority complex as a species that tells us human life has more value. I guess that's why we are the only species on this planet to wage war on it's own kind. Morality is a learned lesson ... hell it use to be moral to round up suspected witches and burn them at the stake ... and not so long ago.

    trying to understand itself.
