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.

    Worldwide it's mostly newborns and presumably straight women.

    Absent people who have zero control over what happens to them, and your presumption, what we're left with is... homosexuals.

    So what's your point? "Haha, faggots, get what's coming to them?" And it's *male* homosexuals, and male bisexuals.

    You seem to have a problem with these people just being what they are. Is there something you'd like to share with the rest of the class? Like, for example, a repressed desire to smoke more sausage than a German butcher shop? :)

      My point is made by letting you talk yourself into a corner after trying to hide a fact that you don't seem to like very much. Your weapons of projection, deflection, and ad hominem are powerless.

        Er, what? No, no, see, in the grown-up world we use facts.

        It is a fact, sourced above, that worldwide most new cases are babies and their presumably straight mothers. In the developed world, it's the "MSM" (male homo and bisexuals) who get most of it, but that population also stratifies by socioeconomic class and race).

        So one of us has talked themselves into a corner and it's not me. Go back to ogling the weightlifters.
