It's disappointing that politics and xenophobia are even a factor in such discussions. As a society, we were always going to make humanoid robots, the question was if we would be ready for them by the time they arrive? Unfortunately, I don't think we are ready and we'll likely use them for profit. But that doesn't take away from the benefits that they can provide. If we can have these assist the sick and elderly, that would be wonderful for society. I just don't see the downside of this article being posted, at the very least it opens up the floor to discussion.
