If we could create alternate life forms, like a robot, with human emotions, would it be moral for it to...?

feel love? Like if a robot loved another robot, or if a human loved that robot. Not sex wise, i have no idea how that would work but do you think it would be moral? Why?

    I don't know. I honestly don't think so. People naturally have the feelings of love. But robots have it programmed. I guess they could, but it just wouldn't be the same as a human loving another human.

    i don't find that normal, because i fear that one day the world will become dependant on robots, and we will one day find that robots will over power humans. i think its best not to become involved with robots at all, forget about falling in love. and a human emotion as strong as love has no data that you can fill into the robots computer. it is infinite, vass, and theres not scientific formula we have to program into it. love is something that only things like humans, even animals can feel. something superficial and artificial cannot feel love. it could become attached, protective, and friendly with someone, which are all characteristics of love, but it couldn't ever feel love.

    Scientists have already created tons of artificial life forms (clones) some of the food we eat are from clones which is bad,,,,,, and they've also made clones of humans, I heard somewhere that one of the biggest things the government hides from us is that somewhere the government is making clones of every human in the world..... the rumors are crazy but after the crazy **** that's happening nowadays I wouldn't be surprised if it was true.

    yes, if anything is black and white, it's that if something loves you, you can love it back. Love is a complex and fleeting thing, I bet relationships with robots would be alright. They're probably really laid back.

    If you can program it to behave like it has emotions, then yeah.

    That is like programming it to walk it should have the basic rights of a pedestrian!

    No. People should not play God. Only bad things could come from us trying to do that.
