I liked this story, but I felt like it needed to go further.  Gabriel is an android who was abused by his owner and has now come into the care of Dr. Marguerite Mulroney.  He seems to be able to feel emotions he shouldn't be able to leading Dr. Mulroney and her android assistant Leo (who is awesome) to argue whether he, and other androids, can and should be able to feel.  The story was definitely well written and hooked me into the story.I felt like the arguments that were made were the same as the arguments I've heard a hundred times before without going any deeper than surface arguments.Also, I felt the ending was very contrived and easy to see coming.  Not saying it wasn't deserved, but still.I liked the brief touches to Asimov's Laws of Robotics.  I thought those were well done, as were the characterizations in the story.  Worth a read.
