I came across this article on MSN that discusses how technology is enabling inventors to create more lifelike robots that we can one day marry and consummate relationships with. If you had to re-read that statement once over--let me tell you it's correct. Yes, people are ok with marrying and having sex with a ROBOT (!)...but not with same-sex marriage. Excuse me, what???!!!! Here's a quote from the article that really got me upset, "My forecast is that around 2050, the state of Massachusetts will be the first jurisdiction to legalize marriages with robots," artificial intelligence researcher David Levy at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands told LiveScience.". So let me get this straight, marrying something w/o a soul is ok, but two people that love each other is not? Where is the logic here?!!! Anyway, I didn't mean to rant, but stuff like this makes me so angry.
Here's the article. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21271545/

Speaking as a Star Trek fan, I think if one day Robots are sentient enough to have an actual relationship, I'd consider that a soul. What's a soul anyway?
I know exactly what you mean though.
