i mean, what sets them apart from humans? is it because they're man-made? so what, so are babies. artificial? how exactly do you determine what's artificial? because they aren't made of organic things? hmmmmmm
@Betony Law 1 is don't harm humans (or allow them to come to harm through inaction). Law 2 is obey orders, and law 3 is self-preservation. She can protect herself against humans as long as she doesn't harm them in the process and hasn't been ordered not to. She did so here, holding her skirt down, running away and hiding behind the wall, then not agreeing to let him look when he asked.
