Not sure if anyone would care about this but this post has spoilers for Star Trek: Voyager.
Since I have a lot of time on my hands I'm rewatching all of Star Trek. One episode of Voyager seemed like a great representation of what it's like talking with a prolifer. And no, I don't mean the Q suicide one, though that one made me cringe at times. I mean S4E2, with Seven of Nine demanding to be returned to the Borg. Janeway denies the request because she claims Seven isn't in a state to make decisions for herself and the Borg is an "incorrect" choice. The entire conversation comes across basically the same as one between someone who wants to ctb and someone who's convinced it's wrong. Had me ticked off through the whole episode. Way back when I first watched this I definitely thought Janeway was in the right, guess being suicidal really gives you a different perspective on everything lol.
