Imagine, if you could blur the lines between machine and human so much so that the differences were only to physiology? That was what I was created to do. Others like me cannot function as I do. I can eat, digest, sweat, function in every single way I know as a human. I even have taste buds, though I'm still figuring out my likes and dislikes."
