Should Robots Be Accepted As ‘ People ’
Ceyda BİLİR
This question has been occupying the minds for a very long time . Should we give them full human rights and accept them as a part of our society ?
According to 2017 statistics , there are 7.53 billion people around the world . You are one of them , I am one of them . We as humans have feelings , mistakes , and reasoning ability , we can be angry , sad , worried , happy , cheerful , tired , full of energy or exhausted . Now let ’ s ask the same question again ; should robots be accepted as people ?
There are technological developments every single day , there are inventions which surprise us . Robots have been around for a while but all of them were not in the form of human beings . Most of the electrical appliances in the kitchen are robots actually . They make our lives easier , they do most of the chores instead of us but they do not even look like a person whereas they can also handle some complicated issues which is impossible for a person .
There are different kinds of robots and some types look just like us but can they feel what we feel or live what we live ? The answer is ‘ NO ’ so we cannot accept them as ‘ people ’. How can we judge them when they do something wrong or illegal ? How would it affect society if we didn ’ t punish them ? Plenty of question marks …
As a result , this is a complicated issue since it affects many people . In my opinion , robots should stay as robots .
