Commander Adama says Cylons lack souls and so lack experiences.
Well, that is how I put it, having read Dewey.
They are mere imitations of life.
No materialist, he.
Battlestar Galactica, The Miniseries, on Amazon Prime Video.
Some say anything that has your beliefs and desires, and especially your memories, is you, provided only one thing does that.
That is the view taken by the Cylons, themselves.
So says one of them, in fact, before Adama kills him.
If that is the right verb.
The rejoinder may be that they are not your memories unless you are doing the remembering.
Otherwise they are merely eerie duplicates of your memories, had by another.
