WOW - She's close to a hottie. You know what this means don't you, what if someone wants to marry her? Oh, I don't EVEN want to think about it ...

Well, there is ONE I can think of, (who ironically is more human personality wise than that other one that's posted from Ghost in the Shell) and she isn't even real at all. Nope. Gally here is entirely 'built' from scratch, not a human component at all...
But I doubt such a thing is even feasible for at least 6 or more generations. The amount of storage capacity required for a robot to have the same capabilities of an actual living life form (she can actually dream when she shuts down to recharge for instance, think of it like a really powerful screensaver I guess, I don't recall exactly how it works)...Wow I don't even want to imagine the initial cost. And I'm sure they'd be far more delicate. Not because of a lack of sturdy yet light materials, but to prevent one from thinking it can erradicate everyone Terminator style, or building something like that on its own.

Don't be distracted...It's not about robots....it's about cloning.

Well at least as a cyborg, she isn't a cold fish like an android.

You and I are probably the only two on the planet who'd recognize that pic.
