You should just send all naysayers sex robots!

I have a painter friend in Italy named Marzio B. who believes it is the destiny of the human race to formulate synthetic companions for ourselves, and is obsessed with bringing into being a convincing facsimile of the actress Milla Jovovich.


There is actually an interesting discussion of the societal implications in the book Love, Sex, and Robots. I will pass personally on utilizing such capabilities if we ever develop the requisite material sophistication, but it is quite fun to argue the case for "humanhood" and the rights of intelligence-approximating (or intelligence-having) machines to carry human wombs and reproduce with humans if they are in love.
