Recently I had to watch I, Robot a movie set in the future where there are robots that are made to do ultimately anything that the humans want them to. They even do things on their own without being told what to do. These robots did everything, from running errands to saving human lives. This got me thinking, even if there were such advances in technology, would we even want or need these kinds of robots?
Even today there are robots in the medical field that can do things that years ago were being done by humans. I was reading an article the other day that was talking about a robot that can be used to cut people open during surgery! I don't know about you, but I much rather have a person hack me open than a robot. I understand that robots are being used now and days because they are faster and more accurate that humans, but technology messes up too! It's not a perfected science. I'm always taking either my cell phone or computer or even my car in because there is something messing up.
Another reason why I don't think that robots should be used, at least in the medical profession is because there would be no human interaction. I understand that during surgery you're not having a conversation with the doctor, but if things keep going the way they are we might have some kind of robot checking on patients rather than nurses. 

I'm sure at some point in your life you have seen a dog with a reflective or blue vest on. Most likely what you saw was a service dog. When most people think of service dogs they probably think of a dog helping to lead a blind or disabled person, but service dogs aren't limited to just those two thins, they can also help heal people.

What people may not know is that service dogs can be used as a sort of treatment for people who are in the hospital. There are many instances where a service dog may be brought in to visit a patient to cheer them up and make them feel better. Doing so serves as a type of therapy for sick patients or just those that are stuck in the hospital.
