Question

Would you consider Mike more of a human than a robot? She will ask them to justify your positions with reference to the story too bad

Answer 1

In the story "Too Bad" by Issac Asimov, we meet Mike, who is a very advanced robot created by Mr. Arnfeld. Mr. Arnfeld has cancer, and Mike was created in order to become miniature and be able to enter Mr. Arnfeld's body to kill the cancerous cells.

However, the experiment is risky, as it is possible that Mike will need to expand after the experiment, killing everyone in the room. In order to avoid this risk, Mike decides to make himself tiny, go into outer space, and explode there. This means that Mike sacrificed his own life to save that of his creator.

This event suggests that Mike is more of a person than a robot. Mike understands deep, complex feelings such as love and duty. He is also willing to sacrifice himself in order to save someone he loves. These emotions are usually associated with humans, not machines. Therefore, Mike can be consider more of a human than a robot.
