Child Sex Dolls and Robots: More Than Just an Uncanny Valley.
Open Access: No.
Relevance
“The scientific community today has evidence that would support the original claim of various harms from virtual child pornography, directly and indirectly, and we propose by extension, from child sex dolls and robots. The arguments that child sex dolls and robots can serve as substitutes/replacements for using real children, could be implemented as therapeutic cures to the harming of real children, or the actions performed by the pedophiles on the child sex dolls or robots do not in themselves cause harm, are all flawed. Even if real children are not involved in the production of child sex dolls and child sex robots they could be harmed thereafter by users of these objects…child sex dolls and robots should be prohibited outright by law.”
