Looking at a picture of familiar face makes me wonder, how these obvious details so clear to me are blurred in others eyes. Some might see his face as beautiful, while the image stabs my eyes with knives. A pain. A pain that has grown with time. A pain that doesn’t disappear. The picture of this man doesn’t depict what he has done to our family, it doesn’t convey how he threw us away for a materialistic want. His eyes are shallow. Is he human?

Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, or watching “Blade Runner”, the film that was based off of the novel. In a battle of nature vs nurture, it is unquestionably nurture that takes the victory for what makes us human because, even though androids are not genetically human, they think, act, and feel just like a human does; they…
