Marina Asylum/WMG: Difference between revisions

A homunculus is an artificial human, and Sentience is an artificial intelligence including (at least to an anthrocentric mind) human emotions and feelings. One could consider it to be an artificial human (and thus homunculus) from this. Furthermore, in [[Fullmetal Alchemist (Mangamanga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]], all of the homunculi (not counting {{spoiler|Father}} and the {{spoiler|creepy doll monsters}}) are named after the [[Seven Deadly Sins]] (Envy, Pride, Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth, and Greed). In the [[The Bible (Literature)|Book of Genesis]], one might interpret the first humans as gaining consciousness or sentience from the Forbidden Fruit which grows from the Tree of Knowledge. Some religious figures might consider this gaining of consciousness to be The Deadly Sin (original sin, etc., etc.), thus placing Sentience as the 0th Deadly Sin, the one from which humanity cannot escape.
