What human traits would you include in the ultimate android?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) November 12th, 2013

First, we aren’t yet able to build anything that approximates an ultimate android, so this is a hypothetical assuming we are in a future where such technology is available to us. So if it were, there are some traits that would be no-brainers, like the desire to do good, altruism, intelligence, empathy, maybe even a healthy sense of humor. But what about our negative emotions, jealousy, greed, vengeance, self-absorption, etc. What mix of good and “bad” traits does it take to even be able to function at the level of a sentient human being?
