Caregiving, Carebots, and Contagion - Paperback

by Michael C. Brannigan (Author)

This work explores caring robots' lifesaving benefits, particularly during contagion, while probing the threat they pose to interpersonal engagement and genuine human caregiving.

As humans, we have a binding moral responsibility to care for the Other, and genuine caring demands our embodied, human-to-human presence.
