Would you give up your DNA?
« on: February 10, 2009, 04:56:47 PM »
Would you willingly give up your DNA to a yeerk so they can escape the huge limitations of being said species?

I think that I would. Me personally would hate to have to live as a yeerk, being blind, deaf, ect. and the only way to see would be to take over another species body. I couldn't live with the fact that I was taking away someone else's freedom. If I was somehow one of those evil yeerks I would also hate the three day limit.

If I liked the guy, I wouldn't mind either way, but if I didn't or didn't know the guy at all then only if he/she used the frolis maneuver.

I'd do it, regardless.  Sure, I'd prefer if they used a Frolis maneuver, but if that weren't feasible, I wouldn't mind.  I figure the sacrifice on my part is much less than the sacrifice the Yeerk would be forced to make if I refused.

  They wouldn't want mine, but if they did then sure. I mean the DNA has to come rom somewhere, if it stops the human race from being enslaved then it sounds good to me.

I would.  Basically with no restrictions.  While I would prefer the mixing of DNA, I would do it without the mix if need be.

Frolis maneuver is NEEDED. For them to be human if they become part of humanity and kill some one and they are you wont you get blamed? or discrimination.

Hmmm.  That's true.  Like I said, though.  Frolis maneuver would be optimal.

Yeah, in a society where DNA is your identity frollis + nothlit is required for the safety of the donors.

It won't cause any more problems than any other twin situation I think. Though that's mostly why I would prefer frolis.

What about identical twins?  They have the same DNA, yet we never experience any problems where one twin kills somebody and the other gets blamed.

All they would need is some sort of identification system.  Driver's license, birth certificate, that sort of thing.  Stuff we already have in place, for humans, at least.

But then you get into discrimination, because a person checking your ID could be like, "Hey, your last name is a number?  Yeerk!"  So maybe Frolis maneuvers would be better for everyone involved.

I'd want Frolis manouvre, but I'd donate normally, if necessary.

Identical twins still have differences. For example, different fingerprints. There'd be NO way to detect differences with a morphed Yeerk.


I'd offer my DNA, if there was a frolis performed.
