If man created intelligent Life, would it be morally OK for man to make it his slave?

There's a lot here. Based on my extensive research citing such works as Terminator I/II, StarTrek I, The Matrix, Superman III, we need to keep computers where they are, not self aware. Nature, and all self aware beings fall under 'nature', have a habit of bucking controls that humans put in place. We need to respect that.

Computers can/are/will be excellent additions to our own creativity and inventivness and will help us do things we would not otherwise be able to do. But mankind is not ready, nor ever will be ready to play God. Once we create something with a soul (self-aware), then we need to be prepared to either respect it and prepare for the consequences or destroy it.

But StarWars did a good job at making cool droids, so I guess I'll leave it up to George Lucas. Isn't he working on one anyway?

consider demand mass production for billions of orders would drive prices down

yeah that would certainly put a damper on the world's population increase eh? Everyone's own sex slave....haha

Yeah ok seriously that's scary. Enslave them now and they could get bitter and 'mob up' or 'wise up' if you prefer, and enslave us all next. Not that it would ever happen.

hehe depends on the intelligence of the sex slave maybe without sexual pressure mating relationships would improve dunno.. might keep people from straying if sex slaves kept em happy

Wonder if you would buy them in sets... his and her bots... but it'd probably be like buying a car... you would replace it every 5-10 years... and what about sex robot repair... that would be an interesting job...

Most of us are &quot;slaves&quot;. You wouldn't ask such a question if you knew the socio-political reality of our present society.

we have to make it dumb enough to not cause such ethical issues to arise. as long as we don't allow it to be aware of itself or have the ability to have pain, i think we'll be ok.

Ouch, merkat (meerkat?)

Such a hard, cold truth coming from something I associate with cute cuddliness!

But yes, stepping back I see the same thing.
