I read an article that says that by 2050 Massachusetts might be the first state to legalize marriage between humans and robots. The article says that people may be happier in marriages with a robot rather than another person. The article even says that it would be possible to have an intimate relationship with the robot. The article also says that being able to own a robot could decrease the criminal acts of rape, pedophilia, and sexual assault.
