Data: ...That doesn’t mean you’re not a person, Connor, it just means you’re from a world that doesn’t have the frame of reference for considering you as a person. If I went to your world I would not be thought of as a person, but some kind of alien built machine. I’m not just a machine, I’m a person, but I’m from a world that recognizes that. Your world doesn’t have any frame of reference for living machines, and so can’t fathom that they might have made some, you’re just not able to consider yourself a person because they made sure you couldn’t. *and Connor doesn’t have free will, not yet, but Data thinks he could develop it...*
