Star Trek: The Next Generation - Season 2 Episode 9 - The Measure of a Man

Recently been watching alot of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
This particular episode intrigue me.

In this episode, a Star Fleet officer request to disassemble Data, Lt. Commander Data, an android. Flatly, Data refused as he find that the officer's knowledge is somehow lacking and will be risky if he were to be disassembled.

Capt Picard defended Data but the officer had papers prepare so he can transfer Data to be under him. The last resort will be for Data to resign from Star Fleet.

A few issues start to come up.
Is Data a personnel or property of Star Fleet?
Does Data have a right to choose his own fate?
What will happen if Data is mass-produced?
