I was not really impressed with The Code of the Lifemaker.  I mean, for
god's sake, they even had HORSES!  The "people" ate, slept, looked, and
to a large extent acted just like us.  The only difference, the only
thing that made for any interest, was the fact that a faction of
earthlings wanted to take away the robots' rights (as if stealing their
"life forms" was likely to be useful, given that they evolved for a
temperature of -150 C -- what form of life would you steal from Earth
if you lived on a metallic-life-form planet with a temperature of 350
C?)

A better writing with the same premise is a short story by Anterson
entitled Epilog.  

Does anyone out there have the name of a third?
