[the female colleague questions Professor Hobby if it's possible that a human can genuinely love a robot] Female Colleague: You know, it occurs to me... with all this animus existing against Mecha's today, it isn't simply a question of creating a robot who can love. But isn't the real conundrum, can you get a human to love them back? Professor Hobby: Ours will be a perfect child caught in a freeze-frame... always loving, never ill, never changing. With all the childless couples yearning in vain for a license, our Mecha will not only open up a completely new market but will fill a great human need. Female Colleague: But you haven't answered my question. If a robot could genuinely love a person, what responsibility does that person hold toward that Mecha in return? It's a moral question, isn't it? Professor Hobby: The oldest one of all. But in the beginning, didn't God create Adam to love him?

With all the childless couples yearning in vain for a license... ...our little Mecha will not only open up a completely new market... ...it will fill a great human need.
