Letter: Robot love

Published 26 February 2014

From Ellis Pritchard

In your Cure for Love special, the juxtaposition of having a religion grappling with robot ethics (15 February, p 24), drugs to help cope with break-ups (p 26), and people marrying computers (p 29) poses a question. Will we need to develop an equivalent to the anti-love pill for android companions to take when they are inevitably dumped for the latest model?
