. Should roboticists (those who make robots) avoid making robots that think and feel like humans? Why or why not?

i think they should . i think it would be pretty cool . it would be like a new future type thing. like for example ipod i phones and then robots .

2. Should some robots be given human rights? For example, the right not to be tortured, to be allowed to marry, to be educated, and to be free to practice a religion?

i think they should be have human rights becaus ethats just not right to create something that is human like and then just be used .. or tortured ... well i guess you could have a few that you could use sometimes as long as you know that they dont have any feeling and they listen to everything you say . then yea of corse everyone is gunna want a robot. some could have feeling and some others cant . that would be a good idea .
