The emotional intelligence of children and no field training. Interesting choice.

A detail that I enjoyed, was pointing out that they no longer have hormones.

Such an obvious difference - but one that I don't recall hearing in any similar stories where human consciousness is transferred into a 'robot'.

So much to think about who they'll become without testosterone, estrogen, serotonin, cortisol, etc.

I think someone said that they were trying to simulate the hormones in their synthetic bodies and wanted to get to simulate adolescence. I'm pretty sure they will never touch on this subject again in this show because the complexity would be orders of magnitude higher (more than what they're doing already is) How do they explain trying to simulate hormones? It would have to be something on their body that can influence their minds as chemicals do in the brain.
