That's just it, though. What are our lives even worth?

If you asked many people from my world, only as much money as it cost to build us. We're expected to sacrifice ourselves in an instant to save the lives of any actual humans.

[maybe it's because people outside of her world don't think that people who are alive enough to have a consciousness ought only to exist for the sake of others!! maybe it's that!!]

Perhaps. But the fact of the matter is, you are you. You ought to be able to live your life the way you want to.

Not many are quite as fortunate.

[the alternative: rise up. robo revolution.]

...there must be something that can be done...

[recrypt]

Perhaps, but it's not anything I can do in my position.

[fishingforcompliments]

...then I sincerely hope that someone who is in a position to thinks to.
