The summary of "The Rocking-Horse Winner" is the following:

Hester is dissatisfied with her life because she has no luck and her husband does not make as much money as she would like. Her son Paul begins to place bets on horse races together with his uncle and the gardener, and the horses he chooses actually win. He and his uncle decide to give his mother a gift of five thousand pounds, but he becomes ill. The day of the Derby he wins eighty thousand pounds, and he confesses his mother that he can guess the name of the winner horse by riding his rocking horse at home and reaching a psychic state of mind. Finally, he dies that night, and Hester feels that he is doing better now that he is dead than riding a rocking-horse in order to make money.

Answer:

1. One instance when D(ata), an android, appeared to exhibit emotion was when he was faced with the conflict of whether or not he should tell D(r.) J(uliana) T(anner) she wasn't human. He had a conflict of emotions and appeared to be experiencing empathy when he was told he could take away from J(uliana) what he had been wanting his whole life: to be human. In this case, it would have been okay if robots could feel and express emotion. However robots with emotions would be a negative advancement because there is a risk that if they experienced anger and that they would react dangerously, L(ore) is a good example.

2. I think that D(ata) made the right choice when he let D(r.) J(uliana) T(anner) continue to believe that she was human. Since D(ata) had always wanted to be human, I think he would have taken away from his mother the gift he wasn't given.

3. Though she demonstrates human traits, Dr. J(uliana) T(anner) still falls short of achieving humanity. One reason is that D(ata) knew that she wan't human before her identity was discovered by anyone else. This proves that she wasn't human enough, she still had some non-human flaws. Even if D(r.) N(oonien) S(oong) had made her without any flaws that could be detected at all, she still wouldn't have been human enough though. This was proved when she jumped of the cliff and hit her head. It cracked open revealing her true nature, and nobody would be able to look at her again without remembering that she was an android.
