By what measure is a (hu)man?: On mutants and vampires...

kantrol Wrote:Yeah, this is incorrect. If it were correct, the AI would have to worry about harm caused to corpses via decomposition, gibbing or fire and so forth. Since robots do not have to worry about harm caused to corpses, we can conclude that, for for the purposes of the 3 laws of robotics, an innate quality of human beings is life. Because vampires and zombies are created from the bodies of deceased human beings(i.e. a corpse)*, the 3 laws of robotics do not apply to the reanimated dead or else the AI/borgs would have to give a shit about damage to all corpses.

Have you considered the reasons I presented for Vampires being considered alive, at all?
What vampires might TRADITIONALLY be has absolutely no bearing in this situation, from everything we've seen in game (or at least most things) Vampires are, in fact, living human beings.

kantrol Wrote:In either case, admins have already said that the 3 laws of robotics do not apply to confirmed vampires.

This isn't true, and the quote you supplied actually disproves your claim; that was two admins' OPINIONS on the matter, they didn't make anything official.
