I think that you are right that John does love Cameron, but also, I think that that wasn't the reason John decided to turn her back on.
Oh, I agree. If he had been convinced that she wasn't sentient or at least capable of making that choice, he would have let Sarah and Derek burn her, love or no love.
I think that John realized that the very fact that she was *trying* to trick him that way showed a sense of self-preservation that simple machines should not be able to have.
Ohhhhh, good point. Come to think of it, none of the other Terminators tried that, we've never seen it at least. They fought till the end, of course, but it was about completing their mission, not about wanting to live.
