Response to quetion 6.

Through out the book i have always wondered why androids are so problematic for humans to interact with in the real world. its almost like the people of this futuristic society are afraid of the embarrassments that fallows, such as hitting on a transsexual individual. Is it bad that a machine can do as a human does with out the help of a machine to distinguish "it" from a homo-sapien. Androids are made as slaves, but can think like humans, why make something that can think that has to indure pain and banishment from the social cast of humans.

Escaped robots from mars that were manufactured to be sent to the factories of the frontier, might be mad coming back. So why create something that is so different from a human being but yet completely identical. recognizing itself as a part of society, but having society tell it that they are simply a product off our assemblylines. If these androids are programed to fallow every human characteristic, through and through, why is it so bad that these androids become completely assimilated with the human population.

What made me so weirded out about Rosen Corporation is that at the end when Rick Deckard made a final test on Rachael Rosen; she appeared to be startled, acting as though she had done something wrong. Eldon Rosen assured her not to be afraid, saying "you're not an escaped android on Earth illegally; you're the property of the Rosen Association." She still seemed to understand that she wasn't human, feeling scared that because of who she was she was in the wrong.

1.Why do androids pose such a threat to humans in the future?







2. Are androids looked at as criminals in the human world, or as machines out of order?

3. What possessions make this woman so important?

4. There is a lot of symbolism in this business center, what governments and era does this chapter replicate?

5. What is the Rosen associations business, why are they on mars, what large scale businesses mimic this one?
