In one of the Mass Effect 2 dlcs, we get to go to a Cerberus lab that has gone semi-rogue. (Spoilers for those of you who haven't played a new game in the last 8 years). It turns out that the researcher was using his autistic brother, David, to communicate with our artificial "foes" (#NotAll lol) the Geth. David was forcibly linked to the Geth hive mind in an attempt to control them. We learn that this was too much "noise" for him and that it was a living hell.
At the end we need to decide whether or not to put David in therapy for what he underwent, or to leave him for Cerberus to continue to experiment on. What is the right answer?
Is an autistic a person we need to worry about? Or is he just a piece of tech to be experimented on like any other?
Honestly interested in your thoughts.

Using autists as the crucial piece of your crazy military tech project seems like a too risky of an idea.
Elijah Howard
what are you some kind of animal?
Nicholas Nguyen
He's still a human with rights, This experiment sounds retarded, there are already artifical sentience like EDI, why do we need an autistic person for this experiment? IF we can already build an artificial sentience then why is Autism a magical mystery?
Nathaniel Turner
Part of the reason he was so capable is because he could communicate with the geth for some autistic reason. So he might be able to have influenced the geth to serve them.

Are Marxists humans, are otherkin or furries, are niggers? Where do we draw the line?
Brayden Martinez
That's actually an excellent point. Regardless of whether or not an autistic is a person.
Well that goes to the heart of the question. Is an autistic (by definition a sociopath) a person with rights or an animal like any other?

In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled.
Remove seeds from lemon juice, but leave pulp. In pitcher, stir together chilled syrup, lemon juice and remaining 7 cups water.

It's okay user, we all eventually grow up and realize the necessity of gas chambers.
