Elderly people living in care homes could soon be enjoying the company of specifically designed sex robots, according to a leading organization in the field.
The freakishly realistic robots could be widely available within the next decade, used not just by fetishists but as a tool for sexual therapy and communication.
[...] Professor Sharkey, who was speaking on Wednesday at the launch of a new consultation report, said it is time for the government to step in and start regulating sex bots.
“They are being proposed for the elderly in care homes, which I think is controversial. If you have severe Alzheimer’s you can’t really tell the difference,” said the researcher.

I can imagine this only working in specific cases, most likely the Ethanol_fueled case, which would not be real, only by artificial appendage, but that is about the reality of it right now, and how long can he last, anyway? So, yes, Medicare should be extended to cover Ethanol_fueled's imaginary blow-jobs, because he has a Government Pension, and by God he deserves them. Or at least the facsimile of them.

Eth sued to get his government pension reinstated after he was court martialed for racist conduct unbecoming of a government drone?
