Isn't Maribel a real person now though? I asked Joe. I mean she thinks and feels emotions just like anybody else, right.
Well, yes and no. She thinks she feels emotions just like everybody else, but hers are from a different source. The human brain experiences emotion as a result of a complex interplay of chemical and electrical reactions. Some are hard-wired, some are learned or conditioned responses to certain sets of those signals. It's all very messy and it doesn't always work exactly the way it's supposed to.
So, isn't Maribel the same way? I mean just because you made her doesn't mean she's not experiencing the same things all of us do.
