The definition of a offspring is a person child or children. It can be said that Lal is the offspring of Data because he was the one that created Lal. It can be also that the offspring lives with the parent until they are able to fend for themselves. The parent teaches them everything about life and how the world works, however the commander thinks otherwise. He is trying to break this bond between the parent and the offspring and I believe that that is not ethical. He has no right to separate them as they are connected and he should out of all people should know that as he is a parent himself. If androids were to replicate themselves than my field of computer engineering will be taken over by these android as they can fix the problems themselves. We will not even be needed to fix any problems as the androids will be able to solve them for us at a faster and more precise way than us. There arms will be stronger as well and will be able to handle more data at one time than a human can ever. Basically, we computer engineers will not have any jobs. We can already see this in many job areas already. For example, car used to be made by hand by humans, but now they are being made by robotic arms that can work 24/7 without stopping at all. This makes them more reliable and replacing thousands of jobs that normal humans beings can have.
