Also, with regards to human "morality" and how robots can't have it because they're not a live:

This was a major point of Season 2, methinks, with John Henry. Ellison kept trying to explain the sacredness of life to JH, and JH just did not get it because he had no personal experiences to compare it with, so it was meaningless words. But after JH experiences the shut down, and is effectively crucified over a several year period, helpless to stop it, he suddenly grasps why life matters. So later, when he sees that Savanah is in danger, he is able to make an actual moral choice to help her.
