Human beings are mortal and hence they are to die some day. But the world is trying to replace this by making robots or we can also say clones by uploading human personalities to robots who would potentially look and behave like friends and family members who are no more alive. The said concept is very interesting but it has failed to inculcate the concept of emotions within them, a quality that only human beings possess. These robots are intelligent, smart and have the ability to work as ordered, simply because they have been formed by gadgets and other electronic chips but do not have a human heart.
Well, I am of the opinion that we should not continue to research and develop the idea of uploading human personalities to robots that could potentially look and behave like friends or family that have passed away. Forming robots who would work for us is acceptable but making them look like a dead person is like playing with the emotions of the other person who had emotional attachment with that person when he was alive and has deep rooted memories with him or her. Storing the information and the data that a person has within himself is acceptable but giving a robot a name of a dead person is not acceptable.
