Let me make you a hypothetical offer.

Let's suppose for the sake of argument , I am a famous robotic scientist , and I have manufactured the perfect android...

One of todays best- known fictional androids is Lt. Commander Data ,
a character on the weekly television series Star Trek: The Next Generation ,
Data is a highly advanced , top of the line android.

Except for his yellowish skin tone and computer simulated manner of speech , no one would suspect that he is a robot and not composed of flesh and blood.

But my android technology is even more advanced. My androids are in ever respect totally indistinguishable from human beings...

Million- Dollar Proposition..
So here is my offer: For one million dollars , would you allow me to subsitute
one of my androids for one of your loved ones ?

Someone you deeply care about. You may decide whom to substitute...
But remember.. You will never see the real person again.
Don't be too concerned however , because the android will look,
act and feel exactly like your loved one.


It will be a perfect replica in every way..
Etched into the androids brain will be all your loved ones memories.
The android will be programmed to respond to you exactly as your
loved one would...


And the astroid is designed to age along with you as the years go by.
In short , if you were not informed of the subsititution , there would
be no clues to suggest that a replacement had been made.


Would you except a robot as a replacement for your loved one ?
