Sex-robot has "family mode" switch so kids can play with it. Ethicist says it is "profoundly damaging" to children

I think it probably went down a little like this…

[Ring ring]

Ethicist: Hello?

Reporter: Hi, New York Post here. We’d like you to weigh in on a story we’re doing about robotics.

Ethicist: OK. What’s the story?

Reporter: Well, there’s this man who bought one of those interactive sex dolls and leaves it on his couch for his young children to play with while he’s not banging it.

Ethicist: Oh man that sounds messed up. I bet those kids are going to have some issues later on.

Reporter: Thanks, bye!
