You never realize how advanced we can really be. After watching
the episode Wednesday, I was honestly in shock. To think that, that could be
possible is really scary. Personally, I think it was a terrible idea. A
terrible idea from the start. See, in everything in life, one things lead to
another. From the beginning, my first thought was “no way anyone could do
this”. But I really thought about it, and I know how hard it can be to cope
with the death of a loved one. I personally know how hard it is to lose a loved
one, and yes at times I wish I could hug or talk to them once more. But I don’t
think I could ever can go to the extreme that Martha did. Personally, I would
have deleted the email as soon as I got it. I do realize however, that the
situation Martha was in, was quite a complicated one. Considering that she is pregnant,
I see why she would find the need to still have Ash in her life. I believe at
most, she should have kept it at the phone call level. I think it is not
healthy to carry on a relationship with someone that is no longer there. It got
to the point where she was attached to her phone like Ash once was. When it got
to the point that she had to hide what she was doing, is when I think she realized
that what she was doing wasn’t the correct thing. The problem with this whole
robotic ash was that HE IS A ROBOT. Robots have no emotion. So, whenever she expected
him to react a certain way and he didn’t, she had to realize that a human being
and a robot are completely different. I think however, that she, at least for a
while, didn’t see the Ash2 as a robot. She realized however that living with
Ash2 was difficult to live with when she tried sleeping with him and he didn’t close
his eyes or breath. That would honestly scare me, and I would have the uncertainty
that I was safe. When it got to the point where she wanted him to jump and he wouldn’t
simply because the real Ash never had suicidal thoughts, so he wouldn’t until
she ordered him to. Then she gets made because he wasn’t scared to jump. I think
though that when he did start crying and begging her to not make him jump, she didn’t
want to lose him twice so that is why she told him to not jump. Leaving him in
the attic was also a bad idea because I am curious to know how she explained it
to her daughter. It is obvious the daughter knew, but what could have been the
story?

I completely agree with you. I feel like the calls and texts were okay to an extent but when she bought the actual Android and let it live with her, that's where she crossed the line.
I agree that Margaret should have kept communication with Ash 2 at an email and phone call level and that she crossed a line when she brought Ash 2 into her life. However, I'm not too sure whether or not he has no emotions. Ash 2 was learning so manny different things about humans, and who's to really say whether or not he was truly developing emotions, too? I honestly don't know. I was also wondering what she told her daughter about Ash 2 living in the attic and when she told her.
