Are they people also the way they are made with synthetic human parts not metal are they not human because they lack a "soul" or because they are not created the same?
Edit: You meet a synth in real life it's being hurt to a point where it's crying for help. Do you help it/she/he?

I'd help the synth. With that being said, think about how no one considers Frankenstein a human, and he was completely made of [i]real[/i] human limbs. Good for thought.
