>>109822199I'm absolutely fine with and understand the limitations of robotics, and am fine with them living a natural life and such. My main issue is with people taking such a dark, edgy, needlessly cruel approach to killing and raping Emmy. I'm fine with the idea that Emmy just gets old and begins to lose function, and simply shuts down one day never to boot up again if not for a total overhaul which would be akin to death anyways. I just think that, being machines built and designed by people, there would be people dedicated to the maintenance and care of robots, not unlike physicians. The issue there is that human physicians have certain rules and functions of the body they know, but speculation is extreme and we don't fully understand every process of the body yet. However, a robot (or rather the components in it) all have a known function and fixes for issues they may have, since there are experts who designed Emmy, wrote her manual, and also experts who specialize in the care of domestic robots. Natural wear doesn't apply the same way to robots as humans by virtue of this because there will always exist an infrastructure to support her. The entire arc in Cellini's comics about her being scrapped and then repaired, without loss of self (but possibly memories, we don't know yet) is just further proof of how resilient these robots may be.
