... or of their offspring, androids included?
"David" (like Michelangelo's David or HAL) was a work of art AND a frankenstein monster, as anything that is added to the cosmic soup creates consequences and ripples throughout time, for all time. Things without souls may be an "unknown quantity" and better left off the time line lest lives buckle from discontinuity.
In "Blade Runner" the subject of an engineered son (and every bit as capable as its creator plus some) questioning its creator was most clearly resolved - by summary execution.
The lives of soul beings have purpose that is extra dimensional. The consequence of "creating" soulless lives bound by artificial dimensional imprisonment is terminal/null.
Perhaps R. Scott will develop this theme to a new height?
