This would be funny if it were not so sad. Humans have a need for companionship be it a dog, cat or mouse.
Strangest thing came about a few years ago when a company began to make those cardboard life size replicas from photograph of the family in service.
Sounded like a good idea at the time, get one of hubby so the kids don't forget what he looks like.
Holliday's a seat at the table, under the tree, Some put them in the passenger seat of their car so they could drive the carpooling lane. Great if one is on second or 3 rd shift and does not want people they are driving alone after dark.
Problems came up when like a child with an imaginary friend or special doll, the adults found they were talking to the replica of their missing loved one. Sort of like when in church one prays to the statue of Jesus and believes with all their heart that Jesus hears them------Perhaps HE does but living people far away don't usually.
Movie with I think Molly Ringworld about her teaming up with a man to find his robot wife the government had put in hibernation. Ends up with the male choosing a real woman over the robot.
Have to say the robot would have made a fine cook and house keeper for them. No worry about hubby running around on you, when you have a head ach, call in the robot and watch TV for 20 minutes, then instruct the robot to take the garbage out and wash the car.
