PhotoNow lets look at the capabilities of science. Can scientists create a robot that has the ability to act and carry out the job of a human? Yes! Machines are already taking the place of humans on assembly lines and in factories. Are these machines faultless? NO! There is no such thing as the perfect machine or the perfect person. Everyone and everything has its faults. The machine may be more productive. It will be there twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, holidays, snow, rain or sine.
