Gay Marriage Leads to Human-Robot Marriage
... to no one's surprise, the bible is often referenced in this video.
Disturbingly, America seems to have once again referenced as some sort of Christian Nation ™ and aspects of our flag and monuments being from the bible. This time from Maryland instead of the usual suspects of Florida, Arizona, and Texas. The group is conservative, of course. Apparently gay marriage means that one day we're going to consider allowing people to marry their androids. Star Trek is also referenced. It's heil-arious. Here's the link: http://www.nerve.com/news/politics/maryl...-marriage. |

If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925 Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan |

RE: Gay Marriage Leads to Human-Robot Marriage
Haven't watched the video but if androids are conscious and able to make choices for themselves, why not?
I have little doubt that if and when we do create AI that is self-aware, we're going to struggle with exactly what our obligations are toward them. Are they programmed by their manufacturer with inalienable rights? |

RE: Gay Marriage Leads to Human-Robot Marriage
I really don't see anything wrong with marrying androids. Robot is a slave, so I don't see much of a point in marrying one of those... but if an android is a person, why deny them the capacity? A marriage is, after all, an agreement between two persons.

RE: Gay Marriage Leads to Human-Robot Marriage
I'd like my slave-bot with no conscious or decision making abilities please.
And don't you worry Christians! I have no intention of marrying my slave-bot. I will be having sex with it though.
