      ​@@acads6059If someone has philosophical problems with something like this, being a parent won't necessarily change anything - The problem is whether the robot version is the same person as the human they're replacing. If the mom finds it horrifying to imagine being replaced by a robot after her death, what difference does it make whether she's a mom or wife or whatever?

    Ngl thats actually valid tho. The mom was dead after an accident, so they used her organs to save her daughter, and then they revived her into a robot so they could still be together.
    I'd honestly be impressed and happy. No one would be dead, we'd be good and chilling

      happy for the husband and daughter, imagine the betrayal you feel when your husband doesnt tell you he used your organs to revive your child and leave you feeling confused, especially not allowing your daughter to tell you the secret as if hes trying to hide something.

      @@a_idiot_bun ok so here’s the rundown. The mum could not be saved after an accident, she likely wasn’t even conscious, the daughter would have died without the heart, which her mother obviously wouldn’t need if she was dead. Obviously instead of two robots, when he could save one he chose that so there’s only one robot. He wanted a happy and NORMAL family, he didn’t want her feeling different because he loved her.

    Explanation:
    Her daughter needed a heart transplant and she gave her daughter her heart so her daughter could live she sadly died dut to not having a heart. The doctors told the daughter she only had a few months to live, after they both died the father wanted to make the alive again so he paid some scientists to transfer there souls to "Life Like Robots". The mother forgot all about what happened and how she died so her daughter told her.
    This seems kinda close to FNAF Lore ngl, the father wanting to put his child and wife in a robot.

      It can be both. The robo-mom now has to decide if she still thinks this procedure is wrong, or if she wants to live. And if her love for her family is real. And if their love for her is real and justified.
      On the plus side, she at least gets to know her daughter survived the transplant.

    I thinl some people are missing the point. They didn't "revive her by turning her into a robot" or "transferred her mind into a robot" The poimt and the terrifying part is that that isn't her. She's dead. They just uploaded her mind into a rovot so the robot acts like the mother but it isn't truly her. Kind of like cloning and that the original is dead, but instead is a consciousless robot that acts like the once living human being

    I like it, and I like the twist - cuz at first you think the daughter was downloaded into a robot, and then the reveal! However, this is NOT horror. It sounds wholesome, if anything... just sayin'.
    PS: To make it horror, add an extra twist, where the mother says "Can't you understand it was wrong to do this without my permission and against my will?" "But mom, we're together this way." "I guess the only way to make you understand it's, is if I do the same to you!" and she lunges at the daughter!

    OK IMA SEE IF I CAN EXPLAIN CAUSE IM NOT EVEN 100% SURE
    Even I'm a bit confused butt, I'll try
    The mother, a scientist, was against uploading the concious of the dead to Artificial Intelligence, but her daughter came in when she was about to record a protest video, likely explaining the dangers and cons, etc, of the consciousness of dead people going to A.I. Her daughter was ill and had months to live, as it said before, but when she came in she was perfectly fine. She didn't want her father to be alone, so she got her mother to be her heart donor, so she could live. But since, you know, the mother donated her heart. She died. But the same idea she was protesting happened to her. Her consciousness was in AI.
    Edit: Somebody mentions the mom got into an accident which is why she isn't aware she's an AI, I think that's a good connection and thought so there's that for you!! :]
    Hope this helps, tell me if I missed anything

      The mom is a robot with her mind uploaded, like she said she objected to at the start. The girl got mom's heart.

    I swear jay from the kubz scouts played a game similar to this where the mother was a mannequin/robot who took care of her kid eliana(i think that was her name)who got driven back from the hospital by her father who left her with the mother.i dont remember much but i think its pretty similar.

    That could be an awesome movie. The mom being suspicious and trying to uncover something just for this to be the plot twist
