^I never said that the Kakuhou and the "Red Child" was inheritaly "evil" since, think about it, the "Red Child" in a ghoul would, upon reaching the kakuja and "maturing" stage of its life, be inheriting the minds and souls of their hosts as they mature, including their morals.

All children upon birth are "innocent"... It´s the adults who´s raising it that forms its moral codes and personality based on whatever imprint they choose to impose on the child or whatever environment that the child is exposed to.

Only this is more extreme and the "red child" inherit basically a mental and physiqual blueprint of the single-surrogate "parent" who is hosting it...

So if the person is "good" with great morality and behavior, the kakuhou/"red child" becomes a "good" living creature.

If the person is a "wicked, twisted, evil sadist" then the Kakuhou will become a "wicked, twisted, evil, sadist" as well upon reaching its mature stage.

It all depends on the surrogate parent who will lay the foundation for the "red child" to inherit and nurture as its own.

Regarding the "Are they the same person even after the Kakuhou/"Red Child" matured and devoured its host?"

Well... this is a similar dilemma that the game "SOMA" portrays as well, "is a copy just the much the original as the original itself?"

This is a tricky question... but I think that (within Tokyo Ghoul) that a kakuhou which inherited the memories, body and soul of a person, isn´t "legally" the same person anymore, since everything it has was stolen from its surrogate parent in order to become mature and real individuals who can actually interract with the world on their own.

In short, a copy can only become the original if the original ceases to exist.

Just a thought though...

And rearding Hairu...

This is pretty simple.

She "doesn´t" have a kakuhou.

In other words, she doesn´t have the "embryo" which ordinary ghouls and half-ghouls have which can feed and nourish on the cells for the sake of its life-cycle.

What she got, is essentially "cancer", She´s no "surrogate", she´s just "sick"

It might be the case that the "Kakuhou/ Red Child" might be a parasite similar to the "zombie ant fungi" and the "fungi caterpillar" but solely aimed at humans instead, and has been developing in a close relationship with humans for so long that it essentially has merged into the human race on a genetic level for its own survival.

This would make all ghouls "humans" who´re just infected with a "parasitic lifeform" which lays eggs in their body (multiple kakuhou in one and the same ghoul, Yoshimura 6-8 kakuhou according to CCG, Kaneki got more than two himself...) meaning that if you destroy one, another parasite identical to the first will replace it and grow more eggs in the body... making it impossible to "cure" the ghoul and turn it back to human again.

This parasitic cycle even carries over to the "infected humans´" children, who might have been concieved as humans, but with two infested parents, ends up being infected while in the womb and born a "ghoul", infected before birth, essentially creating the whole "ghoul species" as we see in the series.

It has been confirmed that humans have rc-cells in lower amounts than ghouls, but they still have them. The difference between the two is that humans don´t have the "embryos" which are the kakuhous that makes ghouls "surrogates" for the parasitic lifeform.

If there´s rc-cells, there´s always the risk that they can build up in the body due to circumstances and create ROS which is essentially just lifeless cancer.

It could also be the case that Haru is one of the few who are "carriers", people who can have diseases and be contagious yet not show any themselves, which might mean that Haru are one of a very few individuals who CAN`T become ghouls in any way... Note: they are not IMMUNE to the "red child" parasite, but their genetic make-up prevents them from growing a kakuhou from the infestation and turn into surrogates for the parasite, resulting in the cancer that´s growing out from her eye as we can see.

Some people are suitable hosts for the parasites, others not.

We have seen THAT with Kanou´s experiments and the Quinx apptitude test (Kanou: 1200 test subjects, only THREE turned out to be suitable hosts and surrogates for the kakuhou/ Red Child parasite which turned them to half ghouls... And the Quinx got only six suitable hosts for the parasite among hundreds who applied to the test and procedure.)

From the looks of this, one can argue that not everyone can turn into a ghoul and instead end up as food for he parasite implanted in them...

There are "infected humans who show symptoms"(Ghouls) and there´s "carriers" who doesn´t show symptoms but still possess the "nourishment" which the kakuhou/ red child, needs to grow and survive with.

It´s like humanity been split into "predators" and "prey" within the "Red Child´s" life-cycle to make a complete circle of life for just this animal alone.

Just a theory I might be rambling so I´ll stop here for now...
