StevenC:
He didn't help raise Hanners. He was her friend.
And to your link: it says OPINION right there. The guy writing it thinks that.
So yeah, it's being nervous. You're about to perform an action on your child that could potentially result in your kid's death. No parent would want that.
Diagnosing your child with the common cold on the other hand...
There's extremes in either direction. You should never NEVER make an absolute statement about things that fall in such a broad range.

A friend who was, for all practical purposes, an adult, while she was a child. When such friends have parental approval, they're usually said to have "helped to raise." (When they don't, they're usually said to have "gone to prison.")

The "guy writing it"?! You mean the AMA ethics group?! :psyduck:
Yeah, see where this line of thinking gets you the next time you hear a court "opinion."

--- Quote from: Jeph Jacques (from that newspost) ---No one is quite sure who decided it would be useful for artificial intelligences to posess libidos, but it is generally agreed that it would be more trouble than it is worth to remove it. Besides, the horny little buggers would revolt.

I was in second grade, and at mid-year, we got a new teacher when the former one had to leave because of illness. It might have been her first job, she was very young; so I'll say she was about 22. Very caring, very interested in her pupils.
Fast forward 15 years. I am taking some summer classes in college to catch up as I had lost a year because of a car accident. To pass time, I audition for a play in the theater department. I end up reading against ... you guessed, it, my former teacher, who now would have been 37 to my 23. It is very, VERY creepy, even in an obviously fake situation, to be standing across from your second-grade teacher saying "screw ME, Sidney, PLEASE..."
And no, I didn't ask her if she found anything strange about it. No, no, no.
So, yeah, creepy with Station and Hanners and all that.

I remember back when my dad died, I got a hug from my former principal from junior high (he and my dad were friends). It felt a bit weird, but then, I had only been out of junior high for 3 years (I was 14 at the time).

Seriously, what the HELL are you even talking about. Hanners is not a little kid with some pedophile AI trying to rape her. She is an adult woman and Station is whatever the hell an AI can be called. They can both give consent and make their own decisions.
