    yep and I’m sure it crossed the writers’ minds too. Credit to them for realizing TNG already did it.

    “The Offspring” Starfleet doesn’t seem consistent with what/ who they consider sentient considering the Expcomps. It’s almost like the Dredd Scott decision all over again. @Raoul the Red Shirt ?

    A Klingon children's story:
    “The Duckling with Wrinkled Forehead.”

    Once, a young swan whose parents had been treacherously slain lived with ducklings.
    His foster siblings tormented him constantly.
    “Leave me alone, or I will kill you, right here, right now!” cried the Swan.
    Realizing that he was a danger to them, the ducklings being more numerous, tore him apart and ate his flesh while he yet lived.
    The moral: Never tell your enemies your plans.

    The law thrives on both making analogies and distinctions between things. If someone worked hard enough, they could perhaps come up for a reason to treat exoccomps as fully sentient but to justify why Lal and Data's wishes could be overridden despite Data being sentient.

    Keeping in mind that with the exception of certain story arcs, basically most STs that aren't DS9 have a pretty big amount of amnesia and inconsistency from one to another:

    Starfleet's position was not that Starfleet could force Lal to be separated from Data because of Data or Lal not being sentient. Rather, it was because the needs of Starfleet to protect the rare sort of Soong-style android trumped the normal sort of parent-child relationship. At least hypothetically, Starfleet would have had a similar position if Data/Lal had been biological. It's not inconsistent to say that Data and the exocomps are lifeforms and yet the wishes of Data or Lal should take a backseat to what's best for the Federation.

    "The Apple".

    Kirk, McCoy, and the female redshirt speculate on how Vaal would get the people to procreate if it had to replenish someone who died by misadventure.

    I had an image of Vaal mashing two people together with invisible tractor beams like a girl making her Barbie and Ken hump.

    He never actually says that in canon. He does say "The game's afoot" though.
