"On the other hand, the prospect of having somebody that loves us reliably, someone who we know won’t leave us no matter what, will certainly have a strong appeal to many. So there is indeed, as Evans puts it, a dilemma at the heart of the human-robot relationship: “We want contradictory things: a romantic partner who is both free and who will never leave us.” And if we cannot have both, then, depending on what we value most, we may well prefer the reliable artifact to the never completely reliable human. What is more, we might not even see this as a huge loss, or for that matter any loss, in the first place." John DANAHER / Neil McARTHUR - Robot sex - Social and ethical implications, p. 213
