Michael C. Brannigan's Caregiving, Carebots, and Contagion explores caring robots' lifesaving benefits, particularly during contagion, while probing the threat they pose to interpersonal engagement and genuine human caregiving. As our COVID-19 purgatory lingers on, caring robots will join our nursing and healthcare frontlines. Carebots can perform lifesaving tasks to minimize infection, safeguard vulnerable persons, and relieve caregivers of certain burdens. They also spark profound moral and existential questions: What is caring? How will we relate with each other? What does it mean to be human? Underscoring carebots' hands-on benefits, Brannigan also warns us of perils. They can be a dangerous lure in a culture that settles for substitutes and venerates the screen. Alerting us to the threatening prospect of carebots becoming our surrogate for interpersonal connection, he maintains they are not the culprits. The challenge lies in how we relate to them. While they beneficially complement our caregiving, carebots cannot replace human caring. Caring is a fundamentally human act and lies at the heart of ethics. As humans, we have a binding moral responsibility to care for the Other, and genuine caring demands our embodied, human-to-human presence"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Robotics in medicine. 650 0 $a Human-robot interaction. 650 0 $a Home care services. 650 0 $a Communicable diseases $x Treatment. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Brannigan, Michael C., 1948- $t Caregiving, carebots, and contagion $d Lanham : Lexington Books, [2022] $z 9781793649195 $w (DLC) 2021060783 830 0 $a Revolutionary bioethics 941 $a 2 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20231021031838.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302021702.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AF73FA62A39211ED924352D529ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
