34. "RE: GA: Enterprise"
In response to message #33
 
   The best argument in Data's favor that I've ever come across was something to the effect of first asking if the Enterprises main computer, in theory much smarter than the people present, would be allowed to enlist in Starfleet. Then asking if Data's cat, a living biological organism, would be allowed to enlist in Starfleet. Then, once receiving a negative response to both questions, stated that since both biological life and machine intelligence were not qualifiers for enlisting in Starfleet, that by allowing Data to enlist, they had already granted him the full rights of a sentient being and therefore the scientist could not dismantle him against his will.

If I find the fanfic that was in, I'll edit in a link back to it later.
