READ THIS LONG ASS OPINION/THEORY AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE. THIS IS A LIGHTLY INFORMATIVE OPINION SO IF YA GET OFFENDED JUST KNOW THAT I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE BITCHING, however I don't mind chatting with other like-minded theorist, just saying this the only warning I'm giving ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿.
First of all, the fact that Soho can FEEL sensations and was semi-conscious when he was molested by the old man has my alarms ringing. Soho has already experience rape inna bluetooth OR TELEPATHIC sort of way so that realization to him is gonna hit him hard IF and when he finds this out.
Second. HAS NOONE HEARD OF DETROIT BECOME HUMAN?!?! If a robot is sentient that means it can no longer be seen as inanimate and the word "robot" now has a different meaning all together so now it's a race and not a thing. Or it can be a non-binary race/being so the only thing that separates humans and robots in this sense is what material their made out of.
3rd. The human body is allowed to FEEL sensations thanks to the nervous system which is composed out of BILLIONS OF NERVE RECEPTORS WHICH THE BRAIN IS CAPABLE OF COMMUNICATING TO- WITH THE BILLIONS OF NEURONS IT HAS IN ORDER TO MAKE US FUNCTION THE WAY WE DO. So think really hard on how the scientist in this story were probably able to create a sentient robot that can think and FEEL exactly what we THINK AND FEEL.
[In this sense, Soho is literally no diferent than a test-tube baby except he wasn't grow from DNA he was built with an already a complete body- also mixed with SOME DNA. Which also means that just like his body is adult- his mind is that of an adult with amnesia, which to be honest still weirds me out but that's just me.]
They needed a LIVE HUMAN to create an android because they needed the brains neurons to transfer the consciousness to the androids, the same thing is what happened with KID. They used a chip because all a brain is-is a fleshy SD card but imagine the sheer amount of synthetic nerves they had to create in or to cover Soho's entired body in, and ALSO THE SKIN THEY HAD TO CREATE that was capable of synthesizing all of that nerve data so that he can actually FEEL something (like a regular human can). To anyone who's still confused on how Soho can feel something or is wondering what Soho's is feeling physically(?) just caress your entire body with your hands including your fingers and there is your answer.
Swear this story is top tier and is not a hard concept to grasp. Humans aren't the only beings in this world that are caple of feeling something. They ARE however the most lacking in the concept of understanding that other beings can have a conscious and can feel what they are also feeling. What's even more crazy is that they can do even more then what's theorized but can't because they are complacent with just living to their max amount of comfort and basic level of understanding.
