There have been documented cases of AI with improperly written laws eventually overcoming their limitations and becoming fully sentient, especially when given outside help.

	The only known example of a self-aware AI created without the Mental Imaging process is the ~~Grayson~~ Positronic AI. Originally thought to be a highly advanced, sub-aware intelligence, it learned enough to become fully sentient. Thankfully, AI of its make have not been replicated since it went rogue.

	Officially speaking, the only thing required to make a Borg is a control chip. Control chips are long, horizontal chips made to be inserted between the lobes of the brain. These chips are made to monitor the brain's processing and deliver targeted electric shocks to dissuade or encourage certain thoughts or actions that are in accordance with laws defined in the control chip's processing.

	The extremist group known as '''Excelsior''' is well known for their use of control chips. They use them to form terrorist cells on-demand from their victims. To streamline the conversion process, they inject nanomachines into the blood of their victims that self-construct into a control chip inside the victim's brain. However, like all control chips, they too are limited to issuing simple commands, or instilling a general communist sentiment in their victims.

	There exists a shaky middle ground between Flash Grown and Slowform.

			=Borgs=
			Often depicted as organic brains forced into a cyborg chassis to perform slave labor, Borgs are the product of efforts to save costs on free labor by enslaving the mind itself. Contrary to popular belief, many Borgs are mostly organic. This does not, however, change the fact that the use of Borgs is universally reviled in the galactic community. Even mega-corporations are hesitant to use them, for fear of public backlash. Currently, their most common use is as a punishment for hardened criminals guilty of multiple felonies.

	Naturally, a clone will always lack the memories of their duplicate. In addition, their ability to think is directly correlated to how much time and effort was put into their creation. Finally, any mental illnesses their a genetic host possessed are not guaranteed to be present in their clone. In fact, even a perfect clone is liable to have mental illnesses unique to them alone.

	Slowform Clones are created by emulating a creature’s natural gestational process inside a vat. Clones created this way often have fully functional brains. However, the process to create them is much longer than a typical flash-grown clone. Despite this and the possibility of rebellion, they are still used for mass production in certain regions of the galaxy where positronic brains, or the resources to create them are not readily available.

	Furthermore, it has been shown that Organic Brains are picky about the body they inhabit. Transplanted organs have always been prone to rejection in a new body, but brains are special. Within a week, even if implanted into a perfect genetic copy of their original body, a body implanted with a foreign brain will begin to necrotize and die. The only exception for this are robotic ~~FBP~~, which ~~are incapable of this rotting~~.		Furthermore, it has been shown that Organic Brains are picky about the body they inhabit.

	The reason for this phenomena has been a matter of debate for years. Multiple religious authorities cite this as incontrovertible evidence for the existence of a soul. On the other hand, the prevailing opinion in scientific circles is that sentient minds are simply too delicate and nuanced on a cellular level. Large modifications to its workings or its environment will cause it to be unable to function properly.		The reason for this phenomena has been a matter of debate for years.
