"I suppose if there's any 'but' then... it's not really for me to decide how each new generation wants to steer the world. I gave up that right willingly.

Of course I'd rather be viewed as a person not a weapon. I'd rather people use compassion over cruelty. I'd like to be treated as a partner not a tool.

I am myself. I wish to be seen as such. Treated as such. Any person does, and while I may no longer be human I'm aware I'm no less a person.

But whatever happens... It won't help me to begrudge it."
