I got a chance to watch AstroBoy this weekend and basically it's about a kid dying and his father making a robot with the boy's mind that he got from the kid's DNA. and then realizing the robot somehow took on his own personality he banishes him.
What really makes us? our minds or our bodies? we get recognized by our appearance. but we also have our own unique minds and personalities. or are the later really unique? we all follow the same instincts, have the same flaws as many others. so is it our body after all? could it really be that the most important aspect of US is our appearance?
