I've read it more than once and feel certain He She and It is for the rights
of all life forms, including those forms developed by humans. THe contrast
is the medieval superstition of humans sacrificing the Prague golem, who's
eventually in love with a human, versus a society that (led by the
grandmother/scientist) liberates the android so his life can unfold, and he
gets into this battle with his nature (designed to be a weapon) versus his
nurture (again, falls in love, oh well we humans do think we're
irresistable!). And I think he dies (like all the black characters or all
the women can in plenty of stories!!!) but the idea is that we can move away
from superstition towards accepting all life forms as equal.
