Call for a ban on robots designed as sex toys

75. She has a point when she says this:

""We think that the creation of such robots will contribute to detrimental relationships between men and women, adults and children, men and men and women and women," .

Porn does the same thing.

But here's the problem with banning...

What if someone wants a robot to experience as near to a healthy relationship as possible? Given all the people with poor relationship and social skills, it's conceivable someone could be having a hard time finding a healthy human relationship.

There's nothing wrong with robots. It's the people using them that may or may not have a warped sense of relationships.

If children abuse Barbie dolls do we ban them too? I once threw my Mr. Spock action figure off a roof. That wasn't very nice either.

What about violent movie scripts where people solve problems through violence? Doesn't that contribute to promoting detrimental human relationships?
