Robots vs Real Men/Women

So, this woman wants to ban humanoid sex robots.

This is Futurama territory! Let's see what Futurama has to say about this.


Will robots replace humans?

Robot can definitely replace real people for sexual attraction.
- Relationships based mostly on sexual attraction are going to get screwed. (Pun intended)
- Everybody will be able to get their sexual needs met in ever greater quality.
- Relationships are going to demand true love.
- Everybody will have greater choice in relationships.
- The standard for beauty is going to go up.

But love? 

To answer that, we need to understand what love is.

And love is kind of difficult to define. Rather, all we can say about love is... that love is whatever that keeps two voluntary, free-willed, conscious, sentient adults together, for mutual benefit.

So that would require free will in robots. Once robots are conscious and have free-will, that's when robots will enter the love market.

Should sex robots be banned?

Let's get closer to life.

I think Miley Cyrus should get banned for her insanely stupid, highly-sexualized acts. I think she's corrupting her younger viewers and fans. Should I have the right to ban her shows just because I don't like them?

No. A society that freely legislates morality is not going to be a free society anymore. And that's just not worth it.

Besides, nobody's getting hurt. So while doing nothing doesn't violate the non-aggression principle, banning robosexuality would.

Seriously though, robots really will make us obsolete. As slashdotters like to say...

"I, for one, welcome our robot overlords."
