Who Wants To Be Human Anyway?
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. No one had ever heard Hugo scream for his entire life - regardless of his present situation tumbling through space from an airlock. Humanity had never bothered to hear him: not when marching for robot rights centuries before and certainly not since androids, like Hugo, had become passe. Everything was genetically engineered now.

What an irony it is that the more we try to save humanity from going extinct, it feels like we are losing humanity even more.
