This question was received about humanoid robots:
Quote:I believe that in terms of military research, it may be necessary to build humanoid robots, and that research is already underway. However, I think at a consumer level, they could be used for sexual purposes, and people could come to "idolize" them in a secular sense.
I think one of the determining factors would be whether the robot were designed to mimic human flesh. For example, a display of a human skeleton is not idolatrous, but if one were to sculpt clay around a skeleton, it could become an idol.
Do you think there should be a prohibition on mimicking human flesh?
To adhere to The Divine Code, I don't own any statues of humans, but I own small silver statues of animals. At a certain point of delineation, a humanoid robot can become like a statue of a human, which I avoid.
I have The Divine Code book as well as the accompanying prayer booklet. I have read the prayers many times, it is one of my favorite prayer books.
