  • Families can talk about how, if someone's feelings could create a creature like the Id, what would it look like when you are mad? When you are sad? When you are lonely? When you are happy? Do you think we will ever have robots like Robby? What would be the best thing about having one? Would there be any disadvantages? Is the rule making it impossible for Robby to harm any rational beings a good one, even though it makes it impossible for him to protect them from the Id? Can you think of a better rule?
