    Charlotte obviously enjoys interaction with the human staff. When they stop petting/stimulating her she actively moves back for more. Most mammalian domestic pets/animals do this.

    0:22 DAMN I was not expecting that low voice. That face, I was expecting a much more high pitch and feminine voice.

    Would the offspring be considered as clones given they have the same DNA?
