Sexual robots: What is the world coming to?

In the next ten to 15 years, a special kind of robot will exist, according to futurists. This robot will look and feel unbelievably life like, designed to cuddle and have sex with.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - With these robots, virtual romantic partners will become the reality. According to Wall Street Journal, "you will be able to design your perfect mate, complete with the right voice and the artificial intelligence to whisper those sweet nothings at exactly the right time."

All of your wildest dreams will be readily available with a click of a mouse. It won't matter if your sexual partner is in the same room as you or on the other side of the world. It won't matter if it's even a human person you're interacting with.

Keep close to God's message --

"If we want, we'll even be able to procreate without meeting in person," explained Laura Berman with Wall Street Journal. "Reproductive technology is rapidly evolving, and soon we will be facing the ethical dilemmas around babies with more than two parents, or from parents who have already died, leaving genetic material behind, or from two parents who have never met in person but sent their genetic material to a laboratory."

Understand the neurobiology of sex will help create the ability to stimulate the brain directly, fooling it into living through a sexual experience.

Although such a device poses threats of negative consequences, like addiction to sex, it does have some positive aspects, like improving the sex lives of people with disabilities.

"The good news is that sex will be safer and more exploratory than ever, given the virtual capabilities. The bad news is that we will likely see an uptick in sexual addiction and a decrease in emotional connection with partners," stated Berman in her article.

The truth of the matter is, people long for connections. These robots may be able to fill the physical need humans experience, but it will not take fulfill the emotional connections wired in us.
