Again, I have to bring up the "he's not really a person" comment. It's easy to backpedal when you're being called out on it and say things like "that's not what I mean" or "I never said that" or to tell someone to stay out of your business when you know you were in the wrong or that your comments were suspect. As a doctor, though, and the only representative of the United Federation of Planets I think psuedo-political questions on ethics and our treatment of one another is my business.
