   Dear Daniel Blanco Parra and Lucía Martín-Gómez,

   Thank you for your wonderful presentation. It was a pleasure to watch your video.
   I think that focusing on the “human” in the human-humanoid relationship is a good find, and that regarding the relationship between humans and robots as a fictional pact is very fruitful.
   As a clarificatory question, I wonder which robots are considered as “robots” in your framework? The presentation showed mainly human-like robots, but surely there are plenty of robots which are not human-like, and do not pretend to be. Such as robots that assist in chrirurgy, for instance. Where would you draw the line between “practical” robots and robots that require the empathy of humans?

   Thank you.

   Dear Daniel Blanco Parra and Lucía Martín-Gómez,

   Thank you for your presentation. The video is so well made and capturing. If I understand it correctly, you argue that we should not so much reflect on machines, and how they should be, but on ourselves and who we are and how we should be. I also take away from your presentation the conclusion that we should stay close to who we are, and not accept violent behavior. Yet, in the abstract you say that “the arrival of androids will transform, radically and for the first time, the concept of what it means to be human”. As such I feel a tension between the abstract and argument in the video. Could you elaborate? Do you think that we should adapt the concept of ‘human’ or do you think that we should hold on to our previous (prior to the entry of androids) notion of ‘human’ as we come to live in a society with androids?
