One thing that I will warn, and this is something my fellow mentors at 2473 keep emphasizing, is that just because a human can or cannot do something does not mean that a robot can or cannot do it. There are many of examples where robots can do things humans cannot, and where robots cannot do things humans can. We and robots are two very different organisms - it is wrong to compare the two.
