In Philip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", Rachael expresses deep feelings for the protagonist, illustrating the complexities of human emotions in a world filled with artificial beings. Her quote reflects a poignant blend of love and a chilling awareness of the ethical implications of replicants, as she reveals how her love could be corrupted by the notion of violence against them.

This statement also highlights the ongoing tension between human and android relationships. The reference to the Voigt-Kampff test, designed to measure emotional responses, suggests that Rachael fears that even the most genuine feelings could be perceived through a lens of manipulation. Overall, the quote reveals a haunting dilemma about identity, morality, and the nature of love in a technologically advanced society.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
