SHOULD ROBOTS GET FREE HEALTH CARE?


[+] ballot by larrynelmira
created Thu Dec 21, 06

Robots could one day demand the same citizen's rights as humans, according to a study by the British government.

The paper which addresses Robo-rights, titled Utopian dream or rise of the machines? examines the developments in artificial intelligence and how this may impact on law and politics.

The research suggests that at some point in the next 20 to 50 years robots could be granted rights.

If this happened, the report says, the robots would have certain responsibilities such as voting, the obligation to pay taxes, and perhaps serving compulsory military service.

How do you feel about this, and if they are able to run for public office, would you vote for a robot?

great future, looking forward to supporting a robot for head of state
not looking for to a future of robots, and would never vote for one

Sounds like the British Government has way too much time on their hands.

At least robots could be programmed not to lie or obfuscate.

If I wanted to vote for a soulless machine, I'd hop in the time amchine and vote for myself when I was 25. It takes humanity, for better or worse, to make a leader, good or bad.

What would happen if he/she were to malfunction while in office?

I was just thinking, they wouldn't be getting free health care, or any health care for that matter of fact, they would be receiving free mechanical repairs. Why not just keep them in the garage when they die and fix them later? Recycling can be an alternate option as well.
