    Considering the behavior of hive organisms, what is the difference between a species forcing individuals to go with the aliens, and members of a species willingly going? From a biological perspective, what is the difference between individuals being exposed to fear hormones and being exposed to horny hormones, to an outside observer?

    Do bees willingly die to protect their hive? Do humans have children out of a desire to see their species thrive?
