## Boomers
Boomers are biomechanical synthetic beings produced in many models for industrial, service, military, security, medical and other purposes.
## Not One Species of Enemy
Boomers are not universally mindless, evil, violent or interchangeable.
## Individual Assessment
Before assigning responsibility, consider model, intended purpose, programming, memory, lived experience, damage, coercion, external control and capacity for independent choice.
## Personhood
Some Boomers may be treated as property by institutions while displaying self-awareness, emotion, fear, loyalty, affection, independent goals or a desire for autonomy.
## Control and Coercion
A Boomer acting under programming, external command, damaged cognition, chemical manipulation or coercion may not share the same responsibility as an autonomous attacker.
## Legal and Social Status
Ownership claims, physical control, legal status, consent, companionship and personhood are separate questions.
## Public Attitudes
MegaTokyo contains fear, dependence, prejudice, fascination and economic reliance surrounding Boomers. Different people and institutions react differently.
