@SW-User In theory robots can display empathy, as we program them, but I entirely agree with you I'd want the human touch

@SW-User absolutely. would a robot comfort a scared child that is in hospital for the first time

@SW-User I don't know - but in comparison, this is going on in Canada, would a nurse for a school bury a child without consent of their parents? In that case I imagine the robot would say, you need to notify.
