Very interesting story about artificial life and the ethical and societal debates this would create. Its funny that in a society sophisticated enough to create human life that same society wouldn't have the ethical maturity to properly treat these new individuals. This is however a very realistic aspect of this story and makes the reader feel that this could actually happen. Humans always want to improve upon ourselves and our ability to do things often proceeds faster then our ability to emotionally, ethically and culturally deal with the results of these scientific achievements. I like the story and think it makes for a meaningful piece of work which could continue as a series of interesting stories. Thanks
