BoingBoing reader Eric says,
This Times Online article talks of people having sex with robots in the next 5 years (yippee!) and the emotional and ethical problems that may arise. Strangely at the end of the article the author lists new robo-ethics recommendations that should be added to Asimov's laws of robotics. I anticipated new laws such as:
• Sex should only be performed in the missionary position with a robot representing the opposite sex
• Watersports are greatly discouraged because of the danger of conductive fluids near electical circuits
• Robots shall not commit adultery
Instead the author touches upon adding DRM and unique ID numbers to each robot. Go figure.
