Clearly, what Janeway should've done is Riker'd the Tuvix and then only murdered one of the copies.

It appears that perhaps a transporter accident has duplicated this post...
Speciesist
Does Tuvix have two species, or none?
Of course he has tu, it's in the name
I would say none.
Maybe to be a member of a species requires at least a history of a single breeding pair?
"A single Tuvix is a curiosity. A wonder, even. But thousands of Tuvixes -- isn't that becoming a race?"
Not all species reproduce sexually. Not all sexual reproduction involves pairs.
Tertiary question: we know that Vulcans/Romulans were descendents of the Progenitors, but are Talaxians?
If not, it might not be technically possible for them to interbreed at all, meaning that a Vulcan/Talaxian hybrid could never occur naturally, and also that Tuvix would probably be genetically incompatible with everything and everyone. Therefore, no species - only an anomaly produced by a freak transporter accident.
