Abstract
From a theological perspective, the human animal is estranged. The feat of self-awareness leads also to the rejection of other human beings as non-persons. In this article, I will first outline a theological concept of sin that is coherent with modern scientific findings. I will then discuss human bonding mechanisms and their evolutionary evolved limits. Finally I will argue that we ought not to improve homo sapiens but should still attempt to build an intelligence partner species (e.g. humanoid robots) that can teach us to be more tolerant and inclusive.
Notes
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
