consent, simulation 

watching barkley heavy tng episode. so should someone be able to make a holodeck sex slave of your embodiment without your consent?

@confusedcharlot I think it depends entirely on the question “Should someone be able to make a holodeck sex slave”.

So, basically, “Is the holodeck simulation rich enough to make the simulations approximately human-level moral agents”.

Once you've answered that, I don't think modelling the simulation on someone is *ethically* different from making one up wholesale.

Although, as the episode explores, it might be a bad idea.

@RAOF in tng, and even more on ds9, it is implied that anything goes.

@confusedcharlot Yeah, but plenty of authors have been blind to the super-skeevy implications of their worldbuilding 😁
