Rewriting them means to force a big group of sentient beings into submission against their will. That is slavery.

Legion disagrees with that. As a response to one dialog option, Legion agrees that all species must be judged on their own merits and that we can't apply human morality on the geth and heretics.

@Fred_vdp 

He also said that "We stated the option exist, we did not endorse it. It's Shepard-Commander's decision."

And the Geth themself can't reach consensus about this question. 

Imho a human can not "choose" his morals on the ground that the Geth are a robotic (different) species. That would be even more immoral.

Rewriting them simply means to force them into submission against their will, in my opinion that is indeed blatantly unethical.

In the long run if they are rewritten they can benefit from Legion's upgrade in the future...depending on what choice Shepard makes.

I also question how much choice there really is when dealing with Reapers. 🤔

But in the end this is all metagaming and should not play a role in the moment you make the decision.

True, ideally the decision should be based on your characters experiences and beliefs and not on what you know.

One of my favorite pastimes is exploring dialogue options to see what hook the developers have placed for different choices.

I am guilty of doing the first (Spoiler-tag) thing once. 😳  (And yes, I was totally metagaming in that playthrough.)

🤣😂
But you can't of course do it as long as

if you are not a total monster. So he had to go. 👿

I of course didn't do it myself,
