I was amazed how well this book was written as well as how interesting the story itself was.It brings forth the question of whether a created being such as an android can move past its original programming to learn emotions and feelings that it was never designed to have. When Dr. Mulroney sees the abuse and torture that the android has been through and what it has done to him, including developing an autonomic reaction (yes, I had to look that up), she wonders if he will ever be completely fixed. And she wonders what will become of him after that point. And can androids truly feel emotions or are they just simulated and learned traits gained from observing humans?This was a very well written short story with a good storyline, well designed characters and a very interesting premise. I could see it potentially being made into a movie one day. I was worried about it up until the last page but I liked the ending.
