If you were Data (STNG) would you choose to have the emotion chip? I think that if I didn't know what emotions felt like that there is no question that I would choose the chip. I think everyone would. I think you only need to look as far as the story of Adam and Eve (whether you believe in the bible or not I believe it is an excellent example of the condition of the human mind). They had the choice between continuing in perfection or gaining knowledge of something. They chose knowledge. The question becomes - would you choose to have it removed? And that I can't say I know how to answer. I think I'd definitely choose to turn it off every now and then.
