> ... the guy who made the Replicants' eyes, and then retired to build creepy toys instead.  Larry, from "Newhart".

He's dead now, I think.


> In any event, her retirement plans bring up scores of ethical questions.  I notice that she's very worried about marketing her creations and making sure that they are safe for the public, but not so worried about the whole implications of <i>selling</i> beings with minds as complex as Anna's.  Does this not automatically make them slaves?  We haven't yet seen a truly commercial application of sentient robots yet in the Parodyverse, and I can't imagine the existing robot community would look all that favorably on such a trade starting up.

She's an over-enthusiastic scientist, kind of like Al B Harper.  Sometimes she doesn't think that far ahead.
