But, can it still cook and bring me a beer in "off" mode?

Maybe just a remote with a mute button?

Never watch The Terminator with your robot spouse.

This is just a continuation of Star Trekish nonsense about if a thing is a human or not. Perfect leftist non-issue. Is it a "marriage" if it's 2 men, or 2 women, or 3 men and 2 women? No, marriage is 1 man 1 woman, other groupings have other names, duh! But leftists (the gauche) constantly seek to muddy the waters.

Is Lt. Data a real boy? NOT! Is the Doctor hologram a sentient being? NOT! There were tons of episodes of ST in its various forms about this, and most of them got it wrong.

Humans is humans, other stuff is other stuff. However, leftists (the gauche) desire the ability to define what is and what is not human. This is paramount to them. That way, all who disagree with them are quickly labled "non-human" and sent to the "correctional camps".

You doubt this? Just wait until Hillary! gets elected. Krystalnaught? Hillary! has better ideas...

not really out loud pjm.

well, not real loud

Well, she does spend a LOT of time on the Intertubes.

7 But eman, what if the Terminator is your robot spouse?

btw, are you a fan of the E-Man comic books? Did I ask that before? Oy.

11 PA, you mean your robot wife or your wet-ware wife?

Never heard of the E-man comics as I recollect.

On a serious note: the Human race is going to fragment.  There will be original style humans, new fangled humans, hybrids of many sorts, and AIs.

Just hope you die before it gets real messy.  Evolution likes to pick just one winner.

Levy said that the main benefit of marrying a cyborg could be to make people, who otherwise could not get married, happier.

"People who find it hard to form relationships, because they are extremely shy, or have psychological problems, or are just plain ugly or have unpleasant personalities..."

Ha! I'm already married to one.

Uh, just kidding snookums! *kiss?*

Krakatoa....

The point is "anything's possible".

And I mean that in the best way...so....yeah....

Please don't send me to the basement.

No doubt this will lead to the end of the human race due to lack of babies.

I'm sure advances in cloning will take care of this little problem. 

I'm honestly torn about something like this.  On the one hand, it's got the potential to lead to some very scary social engineering on the part of governments.  On the other hand, I can get laid without having to worry about any manipulative drama and shame-language brow-beating.

What's an anti-social, anti-feminist libertarian to do?

a body pillow with a picture of Anna Kournikova pinned to it is still not legally considered a robot.

Is it lonely, up there on your pedestal?

"People who find it hard to form relationships, because they are extremely shy, or have psychological problems, or are just plain ugly or have unpleasant personalities..."

... should not reproduce anyway, because they lack the desire to overcome their shortcomings.  No harm, no foul.  At least their excess sexual energy is drained off, making it less likely that they would run through hotel lobbies swinging swords.

#26 - "No doubt this will lead to the end of the human race due to lack of babies. "

Lack of babies? Perhaps in your neighborhood. Have you ever checked out birth rates in certain minorities and Middle Eastern societies? Their goal is dominance through numbers.

It's time that we fuck ourselves silly, raise a lot of smart babies, and teach them how to dump UAV payloads onto their family's favorite shithole, using the gaming console that Grandma bought them for Festivus.

Well, maybe just the first part?

a body pillow with a picture of Anna Kournikova pinned to it is still not legally considered a robot.

What if it's 7 of 9 instead of Anna?

If I got me a boy robot and had me one of those "muslim" style relationships:

a) would my dick get a permanent brown stain? and

b) considering that it's a machine, would I still burn in hell for all eternity?

Sex and marriage with robots?

Of course!  Tipper even downloaded four kids with one, didn’t she?

Just sayin’.

You're missing the point!  This guy is now going to be able to put "Dr." in front of his name!

The inevitable of course, was overlooked in his research:

If you divorce your robot does she get the mouse?

Movies on issue: Ghost in the Shell; Armitage III: Dual Matrix (three is the model number, not the third movie in a series).  Both good, thought-provoking sci-fi. 

I have the feeling this technology will be primarily used by men.  Girls, y'all just ain't as worth the trouble as you used to be.  I blame Communism.  And stupid questions like "What are you thinking?" and "Why do you love me?"
