A man in Hong Kong has built a robot that looks and acts a lot like Scarlett Johansson ... see: Mirror Story. Why do I post this reference? Because I would like to raise a new issue driven by this evolving technology -- does not an individual own one's own persona? Can a robot builder steal our looks, our voice, our personality, our body image without consequences? These questions will take on a greater significance as this technology of humanoids proceeds apace. Can we register our bodyrights with the government to keep these obsessive image stalkers from effectively stealing ourselves for themselves?
No one is going to steal YOUR body form... or mine.
