Asimov and Holoparasite Policy - How Meta?

[WarbossLincoln]

I got a question on how Meta your knowledge as a silicon is when Holoparasites are involved. Obviously a Holoparasite is harmful and non human, and about the only way to deal with it is to kill it. But killing it kills the owner.

The question is: Do Silicons know that killing a holoparasite kills it's human master without witnessing it once each round? Or are you free to cuff the human and kill the parasite as a sec borg, only to "find out" IC that it killed its human.

That was covered some time ago, yes technically killing the holoparasite kills the host but the holoparasite is nonhuman and it was ruled okay to destroy the parasite so long as you do not directly injure the host yourself.

Here we are, from the headmin at the time.

How we've basically been handling it. Should probably throw this somewhere on that list of "What is and isn't human" on the rules page.

Cool, thanks.
