That's the strawman: I've not said anywhere in the thread bioroids should or would have a normal childhood, or what a normal childhood would be.

And that's because there's so much variety in the US today, "a normal childhood is 18 years" would pejoratively imply abnormality for millions who took on adult responsibilities or had them imposed at 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, or 21, despite being otherwise personally healthy in mind and body and accepted and functional in their society, making it dubious as a definition of normality. When world wide cultural scope and a century of social change is added in, it's utterly dubious what "childhood experiences of a typical 4th or 5th wave human child" would be.

Now, I would rather not continue to plague the thread with our differences. If anyone else has any questions about what I mean, please ask, otherwise I'd like to drop it and leave two posters aggravated instead of all of them.
