Humans and Synths, What's the real difference?

[SapphicFlame]

Yeah, Synths were made in labs.But Humans were made in beds. If random DNA mutations created us, Free Thinking beings, What's so different and strange about Synths that means they couldn't be Sentient as well?

They have different brains When Curie is given a synth body it is established that human and synth brains work differently to one another. Also synths don't use human blood, as is revealed on an institute terminal. This doesn't mean they aren't sentient, just that they aren't human.

The do have human DNA however (think of them like a Cyborg), so at least in theory they could reproduce if they have gonads.

The Institute has yet to implement any actual reproductive capabilities, but It won't stop you from sleeping with one.

That Is the only thing saving humanity, otherwise we will be usurped by those abominations :)

what i got is basicly this on a full body scale with cybernetics in the brain to allow direct uploading of memories so they can bypass the 10 or so years it takes to train a humman behavior and some genetic enhancment

Synth's drop Synth component. Humans dont.

Thanks for pointing that out, Captain Obvious.
Where shall be sail to next, sir?

The difference is that synthetics are deliberately made to mimic/emulate humans. By definition...they can never truly be the same as us. Everything else is irrelevant.

They're basically Artificial Humans with some form of mechanical aspects in their makeup. If you go to the advanced systems section of the institute and watch one be constructed, a machine pretty much 3D prints flesh onto some bones. One of the scientists even goes as far as to recognise them as the evolution of humanity while others threaten and tell him to be quiet. That their has to be a line drawn between synths and humans.

Basically the scientists know synths are sentient and almost identical to humans albeit better in every way. However, they don't want synths to become uncontrollable and dangerous to humanity which is the now inferior species.

There are many other reasons the institute treats them the way they do and i'd rather not type an essay but know that the scientists are aware that the synths are more than a cold hearted robot workforce. The institute simply ignores this and treats them like livestock.

If there's anything I'd laud the Institute for it's recognizing the merit of the distinction between them and synths, which is that the synths will always be creations.

What I fear, however, is that their incompetence (or their reckless extravagence, whichever comes first) has inadvertantly created synths that don't recognize any merit to this distinction that then go around thinking they deserve equal (perhaps greater given their boastful capabilities) rights.

For I believe a creation's purpose is whatever its creator designs it to be, certainly not as equal to the creator.

Synth's aren't human, they are machines. Merely being made from organic molecules instead of inorganic components has nothing to do with sentience or freewill. Synths are programmed. Everything they feel and are is a result of the programming given to them by a human. And they have their programming installed while they are being assembled. Everything about a synth is fully artificial.

Synths are neither sentient nor identical or equal to human beings. They are machines who act out the routine given to them by humans and who lack the ability to truly reflect upon themselves and to create.

[Peter Pan]

Synths are an abomination that should never have happened.

The strongest case for this is near the end of the game.

When Shaun gave you the synth version of his 10 year old self, is it the same thing? No it is just a robot. The real Shaun is gone forever. Trying to relive your lost years of your son with a robot is a cruel lie.

syths are syths its in the name lookat mass effect sythetics and organics its two ways to do the same thing. organics have to make syths its a bad idea regardles of if the syths try to kill you like in terminator or are like th geth in mass effect or if you had both sythetics and organics liveing hapyly together from day one. they are also inferior due to the inibility to replicate some aspects of an organic. they are better in some ways but in the end they are worse overall and the things they are good at can be done with organics anyway its just easyer to make a sythetic. im not saying remove them but i am saying dont make things worse and dont make more. these synths are like the T1000 i think but i dont know for sure they are most likely bio sythetic fusion tho i doubt they have real orgains and such inside to the same exstent as an organic. they could be bio sythetic clones kinda or something also. i dont think they die of age so ill go with 100% sythetic as the likely seneriao.

you also cant reproduse with them but you could have sex if they have the "parts" but then makeing a sex droid is not hard you would only need to program a relitivly non complex sythetic to fuction properly for sex. these are sentient sythetics we have here like i said its just another way to do the same thing but its still a real bad idea and still worse regardles.
