I agree with you on your first point, but your second point is boggling me. A system is just a group of people who happen to be stuck in the same body. It's like a family, really, except instead of having genes in common, they have to share their means of interacting with the physical world. I don't see why someone outside of the body has no rights with them. It smacks of elitism to my mind. He and this person were close enough to be really involved with each other, but in the end, he doesn't have any rights because he's not inside that skin?

Just because people are in the same system doesn't mean they know what's best for someone any better than a very close, open-minded friend outside of the system does. And the person who should know best in this situation has had her memories erased, so now it's really hard, if not impossible, to know what's the right thing to do now.
