The Androids of Alien: Are Synthetics Just Machines or Living Beings?

Are the androids in the Alien universe simply programmed machines, or have they evolved into living beings with their own consciousness? In this video, we examine the evolution of synthetics throughout the franchise, from Ash in the original 1979 film to the complex characters of Bishop and David. We explore the ethical dilemmas surrounding their existence, their relationship with humans and xenomorphs, and ask: to what extent can these androids challenge their creators and develop their own purpose?
Join us on this journey through science fiction and philosophy, as we dive into themes of free will, creation, and the boundary between the biological and the artificial. Don't forget to subscribe for more content on Alien and your favourite sagas!
