Kudos To Green Beret Heroes Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland & Capt. Daniel Quinn For Their Righteous Acts By Rev. Barbara Sexton Dear Ones Healing Ministry

 Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland

http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2016/apr/28/green-beret-martland-hunter-army/

When is a hero 'not' a hero?

Apparently, when the US Army is pretending to be 'politically correct' by throwing out two heroes responsible for truly good and righteous acts.

Capt. Daniel Quinn

http://www.armytimes.com/story/military/2015/09/30/defenders-mount-support-ousted-green-beret-charles-martland/72996486/

This is exactly what happened to two Green Berets, Capt. Daniel Quinn and Sgt.1st Class Charles Martland after 'dealing with' an Afghan police commander who likes little boys way too much.

"At issue was a 2011 altercation that Martland and a Green Beret officer had with the Afghan police commander, who was known for sexually abusing a boy and chaining the child to his bed."
http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2016/apr/28/green-beret-martland-hunter-army/

If you've never heard of this type of behavior before, readers, you are in for a shock.

"Called bacha bazi, or “boy play,” the abuse is a longtime custom practiced in parts of Afghanistan — and in Iraq and other Middle Eastern places where American troops have served for more than a decade, analysts have said."

and

http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/28/politics/green-beret-discharged-for-beating-alleged-child-rapist-speaks-out/

You see, in Afghanistan, it is their 'culture' to rape and molest young boys for their entertainment.  The men, I mean.  And worse still, US military service members are prevented from interfering with such 'practices'.
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/21/world/asia/us-soldiers-told-to-ignore-afghan-allies-abuse-of-boys.html?_r=0

This is one way men treat boy children like sexual play things in this video of the 'dancing boys' known as 'Bacha Bazi':

There is a price to pay for being allowed the 'privilege' of gaining the trust of and interacting with the local Afghans, to which our heroes said, in effect, 'no thanks to you, buddy', referring to Afghan Local Police commander Abdul Rahman in particular.

Turning a blind eye to this brand of pedophilia just wasn't going to cut it at all for our guys here.

But I can report a 'somewhat' happy ending with what follows.

Brave Hero Capt. Daniel Quinn has left the US Army, while Brave Hero Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland has been allowed to stay in the Army.

and

http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/28/politics/green-beret-afghan-police-confrontation/

We are so grateful for Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland and for Capt. Daniel Quinn, that they and their families and friends may now have some peace of heart over this matter

Thank you, Gentlemen, for your bravery, courage, honor and determination.  We are very sorry for the pains you have endured.

May your moral decency ever spread and flourish and reach all souls across the globe.

And may God truly bless you fine Soldiers, you fine Americans, with an abundance of all the good things you deserve so much.

With love in Christ,

"If You Use Birth Control Pills, You Need To Be Aware Of This New Years Surprise" By Rev. Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

 courtesy http://www.webweaver.nu/clipart/new-years/3.shtml

Dear Ones:

     Sometimes, health-related situations arise which demand our immediate attention.

     Such is the case here, with a birth control 'pill' FDA Recall 'in-progress'...which is listed in the December 28, 2011 FDA 'Enforcement Report'.

     The FDA, itself, recognizes that there may be unintended consequences for those who use certain drugs during the interim period between the issuance of an 'Enforcement Report' and the actual 'RECALL' of the pharmaceuticals under discussion.

     I am not a fan of oral birth control pills- not so much from a 'moral perspective', but, rather, because there are very real health consequences to long-term users of these drugs.

     What I present here is purely from a scientific perspective as a biochemist.  You know the negative side-effects of your oral birth control methods, ladies.  Unfortunately, in this case, you can add an 'increased likelihood of unintended pregancies' due to packaging errors!

     Rev. Barb's advice: the shorter the duration of 'pill' use, the better.  Also, remember that oral contraceptives do NOTHING to protect you against STD's of all sorts.

     That being as it may,  here's a recent official FDA statement regarding 'RECALLS' currently suspended in a bureaucratic 'limbo':

"The FDA begins a pilot program seeking to expedite notifications of human drug product recalls to the public. The agency will modify the drug product section of the Enforcement Report¹⁷, published every Wednesday, to include actions that have been determined to be recalls, but that remain in the process of being classified as a Class I, II, or III action. Such recalls will be listed under the heading, “Recalls Pending Classification: DRUGS.” They will be reposted with their classification once that determination has been made. Send comments or suggestions to CDERRecallPilot@fda.hhs.gov." (Enforcement Report December 28, 2011

LINK: http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/EnforcementReports/ucm285341.htm

      What this MEANS is that the FDA, (and I agree) feel that the public really ought to be notified ASAP about pending drug RECALLS even before the official weekly report comes out and even before a particular RECALL is officially 'classified' ("I, II or III").
     I have chosen here to highlight 3,220,845 cards of oral contraceptives distributed nationwide and in Puerto Rico, since the stated reason these pills are in the process of being recalled is as follows: "Contraceptive Tablets Out of Sequence; blister cards were rotated 180 degrees, reversing the weekly tablet orientation."  (Enforcement Report Dec. 28, 2011)
LINK:  http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/EnforcementReports/ucm285341.htm

     And we all know what that means.
     You can be as responsible as you can and there will still be no way that you can be assured of the stated efficiency and efficacy of your favored birth control method.
     Be sure to check for your birth control brand...and check out the other pending RECALLS of other drugs in the Enforcement Reports.  Brand names of the affected oral contraceptives include Cyclafem, Emoquette, Gildess, Orsynthia, Previfem and Tri-Previfem. 
LINK: http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/EnforcementReports/ucm285341.htm
     I applaud the FDA for featuring the information the public needs to see more prominently, as highlighted in their pilot program statement above.
     It's tough for patients to stay up-to-date as it is.  All of us can use all the help we can get when it comes to the health of ourselves and our loved ones.
     Here's the FDA Homepage LINK: http://www.fda.gov/default.htm
     You will find all FDA RECALLS & Enforcement Reports and other information there...and you should 'bookmark' it for future reference.
     And, of course, be sure to consult your personal health care provider for specific advice for you.

For Your Health & Happiness

God Bless You this New Year

"What A Tangled Web Progressives Weave: Tanya McDowell & Defending The Indefensible" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

 Rev. Al Sharpton takes the stage during the NAACP "Equal Education for All" rally at Brookside Elementary School in Norwalk, Conn., Tuesday, June 7, 2011. The rally was in support of Tanya McDowell, a homeless woman from Bridgeport, Conn., arrested for enrolling her child at Brookside, a Norwalk, Conn., school.

Dear Ones:    
     Oh...the shouts and CRIES FOR JUSTICE rang loud and clear!
     Nary a Progressive Lib Dem in the Tri-State area didn't have a strong and vibrant ABSOLUTE OPINION that poor single mother Tanya McDowell was but a woman desperate to make a better life for her child.
     No need to investigate anything...just 'let her' get away with ripping the system off for a very expensive education she HAD NO BONA FIDE RESIDENCY RIGHTS TO!
     Nuff said in 'liberal Connecticut'!
     Now we average people are busy scraping it together to get all our kids their educations and health care with virtually no help from 'the government'.

 Tanya McDowell is arraigned in Norwalk Superior Court on larceny charges in Norwalk, Conn. on Wednesday April 27, 2011. McDowell's attorney's Michael Thomas and Darnell Crosland stand with her. McDowell allegedly used a false Norwalk address to enroll her son in Brookside Elementary School. Photo by Kathleen O'Rourke 4/28/11 GT photo = Courts.

     So imagine our consternation to be reminded once again that there is a certain class of persons who--by the very essence of the fact that they are 'endorsed' by people like the Rev. Al Sharpton--are deemed to DESERVE SPECIAL TREATMENT.
LINK: http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/default/article/Sharpton-defends-McDowell-at-NAACP-rally-1414359.php
     Oh, the liberals in CT shouted that 'rally cry' for poor mother Tanya McDowell and her son.
     Oh, how ready all of Rev. Al's sycophants were to not only SUPPORT this apparent 'theft of educational services', but to declare that Tanya is but a VICTIM, worthy of any and everything she should desire.

     We heard this from individuals.  We heard this from the press in their endless 'editorials' admonishing 'anyone not like themselves' (i.e. conservatives) just how 'in charge' of things they are.
     HOW DARE ANYONE NOT SANCTION WHAT THIS 'POOR MOTHER' DID?
     We were reminded that the Progressive Libs of NY and CT have every intention of doing things their way or the highway...their 'way' being the 'high road of moral superiority'.
     For instance, here's a 'petition' on Tanya's behalf from Change.org:
LINK: http://www.change.org/petitions/stop-prosecution-of-homeless-woman-tanya-mcdowell-for-sending-son-to-wrong-school-in-norwalk-ct
     This has been the 'game' around liberal CT for so long that many of us are virtually IMMUNE to the 'outrage' INJUSTICES SUCH AS THIS would engender in a 'normal person'.
     We've come to accept that this is the way it is, starting in Hartford, and that Connecticut is the 'land of the lost' when it comes to moral and ethical direction.
     And the 'Tanya McDowell' situation is but one more reason why the TEA PARTY PATRIOT movement in CT is gaining more and more members, momentum and determination, for those who do not wish to consign their children and grandchildren to this 'status quo'!
     I've understood the 'dynamics' in CT for three decades now and have opined before on my history of 'civil rights' work all through my life up until this 'new age' of 'retribution and pay-back'.
     I cannot tell a lie and I cannot bear false witness.  I cannot endorse what I feel in my soul to be an injustice.  I will not champion one 'group' while vilifying another.  
     And I won't be burdened with pseudo-guilt for something I am not responsible for.
     My philosophy of old age is, "It is what it is and why bother balking the majority while I am clearly in the minority?
     I can 'live and let live', fully satisfied that the Lord knows TRUE JUSTICE better than any of us humans can even pretend to comprehend-- a philosophy which has allowed situations like that of Rev. Al and the NAACP and Mom Tanya flourish unchallenged for quite some time now.
      ...Until a few 'little things' FLARED UP, that is.
     A big OOPSIE occurred for those who championed the cause of Tanya McDowell.
     She was NOT what she pretended to be.  She was NOT an otherwise law-abiding citizen who in one moment of 'desperation' decided to 'steal' an education for her child.
     No.  She was doing some really bad things and actively 'engaged her son' in scenarios revolving around her 'activities' and 'habits'.

 Tanya McDowell sits in court during her arraignment hearing on drug charges Monday June 13, 2011 in Norwalk Superior Court in Norwalk, Ct. McDowell, a homeless single mother accused of illegally enrolling her son in the wrong Connecticut school district, was arrested June 10 and charged with allegedly selling crack and marijuana to undercover officers in Norwalk, Ct. McDowell was charged in April with larceny for allegedly stealing education services for her young son by enrolling him in the wrong Connecticut school district

     I don't know about Progressive Libs, but as a rule, I do not believe it is in a child's best interest to have him or her around crack cocaine, marijuana, pimps and prostitutes.
     So trying to make a 'federal case' over her child's education seems a little opportunistic--even for the likes of the NAACP and Sharpton.
     It is my opinion that the ONLY victim here is Tanya McDowell's poor little son...and that for having a crook for a mother who is being supported and enabled by a majority population in CT, that majority being the Progressive Libs.
     But ultimately, these Progressive Libs will be forced to deal with their own inability--in their 'altruistic zeal'--to recognize 'worthy causes' from 'non-worthy causes'.
     And I'm not speaking of what MAN OR WOMAN deems to be worthy, but rather what is worthy in the eyes of the Lord.
     Progressive Libs--like the rest of us--will be held accountable for our thoughts, deeds, words and actions.
     As usual, I expect the NAACP and the Rev. Al Sharptons of the world to dig their heels in and justify their 'Tanya-McDowell-and-Tawana-Brawley-MOMENTS' as examples of RACISM and moan about all sorts of 'victimhood' at the hands of whoever their latest 'villain' is.
     So I have some advice for them:
     Save you breath.  We've heard it before a thousand times to the point of boredom.
      Do a mea culpa if you have the strength of will and moral turpitude to do so.  It'll be good for your soul.
     The very essence of 'the Connecticut paradigm' is a disturbing one, for those looking from the outside 'in'. 
     This is a state which finds itself  awash with skewed 'justice', racial inequality, confounded and spurious 'law making' (or attempts of the same) which is causing honest, tax-paying CT citizens a fortune.
     Businesses are rightfully fleeing this state in view of what they see around them and because of punitive taxes intended to punish them for 'having been too successful'.
     Local governments in Stamford are rift with charges of corruption and Bridgeport is awash with claims of 'voter fraud'.

Dear Readers:
     You'll forgive me, won't you?
     But as a minority around here (a conservative, that is, and Tea Party Patriot member, at that), I just want to make sure that this 'article' doesn't get swept under the dusty rug of 'forget-about-it'.
     It's bad enough that there has been scant follow-up by the Connecticut  press on this story.
     But with all the talk about 'special bathroom concessions for transgendered persons', I am especially concerned since it seems pedophilia may have been involved.
     I ask you: 'WHO IS PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN'?
 Stamford transgender person charged with sexually assaulting minor

STAMFORD -- A city transgender person was arrested early Wednesday morning after police say she sexually assaulted a teenage boy at Stamford Town Center in April.
Isaiah Johnson, 20, of 202 Ursula Place, was charged with second-degree sexual assault and is being held in lieu of $25,000 bond.
Youth Bureau Sgt. Dedrich Hohn said Johnson, who is known to patrol officers in the South End, was picked up at 2 a.m. Wednesday on Atlantic Street near Veterans Park, where she met with the youth before the April 26 incident. Hohn said the patrol division was alerted to Johnson's arrest warrant Monday night. The victim is a student with special needs, Hohn said.
Hohn said after meeting the youth just after 7 p.m. at Veterans Park on that April night, Johnson allegedly lured him into a men's room at Stamford Town Center.
The assault occurred in the men's room, Hohn said. Police secured videotape of the two going into the bathroom.
Hohn did not provide details on what allegedly occurred in the bathroom. Second-degree sexual assault involves sexual intercourse between someone 13 to 15 years old and another person more than two years older
Johnson was arraigned Wednesday afternoon at state Superior Court in Stamford, where a judge kept her bond at $25,000. She remained in custody after her appearance, according to the criminal clerk's office. A warrant in her file was sealed.
Johnson is due back in court June 13.
Staff writer Jeff Morganteen contributed to this story.

     If Isaiah Johnson sexually assaulted a '12-15' year old, that is pedophilia...just as it is pedophilia if Rep. Anthony Weiner sent obscene pictures to minor girls.
     What is going on with Tri-State Area Progressive Lib Democrats?

"Leave The Kids Out Of CT Politics: The Chronic Problem Of Malloy & Boucher" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

 courtesy: http://stamford.patch.com/articles/state-senator-malloy-has-personal-interest-in-marijuana-decriminalization

Dear Ones:

     PLEASE DO NOT use the sons and daughters, grandchildren and nieces and nephews of politicians 'as weapons of attack'.
     If you read me regularly, you know that I am not the greatest of 'Malloy fans'.
     But our kids grew up together.
     Little Ben (Gov. Malloy's son) was as common a fixture around my house as was the 'Nintendo Mario Brothers' he and all our other children enjoyed playing in my family room.
     Malloys across the street...Malloys behind me...All the 'play areas' and kids melded together as they tend to, alternately 'here or there', depending on which mother was on 'duty'.
     We all looked out for each other and our precious children.
     So, it's GOOD that  State Senator Toni Boucher (R-26) made her apology and that is as it should be. 
     Apology offered and accepted, now PLEASE, lay off the Malloy kids, the Obama kids, the Palin kids, Arnold's kids and ALL the politicos kids...including Representative Anthony D. Weiner's  (D - NY 9th Dist) as yet unborn child.
LINK: http://stamford.patch.com/articles/boucher-issues-apology-to-malloy-for-remarks
     Let the children live in peace and at least have the opportunity to carve out their own lives and make their own mistakes, without the help of their 'elders'.
     Let them SCREW UP THEMSELVES, for Pete's Sake!!!
     As far as marijuana is concerned, I agree that criminalizing it to the extent that we do makes no sense at all.
     But, as an alternative health care practitioner well-versed in 'herbology', I can tell you that I am unimpressed with some of the claims made for 'medical marijuana'.
     Better to say, 'You just want to smoke it', in my opinion.
     There are better appetite stimulants (pharmaceutical and alternative) around and purified THC ( tetrahydrocannabinol, the 'active ingredient' in cannabis) is just not that impressive in studies.
     Yes, marijuana may decrease anxiety and depression, but it can also produce anxiety and mood swings.
     It can also cause heart rhythm problems (tachycardia or increased heart rate) and there's no way it's smoke is good for your lungs.
     And it costs a lot of money.
     Sorry about that.
     Of course, if you're dying, all of these are moot points.
     If marijuana helps those with grave disease, so be it.
     My fellow moderates & conservatives must understand that this 'decriminalization of pot' in CT is but the forerunner of approving 'chronic' (another name for marijuana) for medical use.
     We live in an extremely liberal state and this is what 'the masses' want, in case you haven't noticed!
     My thinking is that youth who are destined to construct their lives around marijuana will continue to do so...whether it's legal or not.
     And adults who 'already recreate with it' will continue to do so.
     So my advice is this: if you really 'hate' this legalization of marijuana 'thing', you might as well move out of Connecticut.  That's what the Progressive Left say ALL THE TIME, and unlike most of what they 'spurt out' on the Internet, I believe they MEAN IT!
     But if you continue your residency in the 'Nutmeg State', then all I humbly ask is that you leave politicians' kids out of the politics of their parents and other family members.
     Parents either advise their progeny sensibly and intelligently or they do not.
     We all read the police blotters. 
     And nothing you or I can do will  make any difference with this anyway in Connecticut, except to just 'be there' when a young person is in trouble.
     It's the decent thing to do and your conscience will be the better for it.
God Bless You

"Skippy Peanut Butter FDA Recall Due To Salmonella" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

Salmonella Patient: http://asal-copas.blogspot.com/2010/08/eggs-recall-because-contaminated.html 

Recalled Skippy Peanut Butter Products

Dear Ones:
     Please pay attention to any and all recalls pertaining to 'Salmonella' contamination of food and food products.
     This hazard is worsening in our food supply.  It started primarily in the egg and poultry industry years ago and has grown exponentially.
     Almost no food product is exempt from potential Salmonella contamination.  Fruits, vegetables and here peanuts (technically a 'legume') as well...and peanut butter.
     I cannot say that I am a major fan of peanut butter, even though it is a nutrient dense food source which many think tastes wonderful.
     Unfortunately, I have observed that peanut and peanut butter allergies are on the rise and are amongst the most 'deadly' of potential allergies one can have.
     Also, there is a direct link between excessive peanut butter consumption (that means daily consumption, or close to it) and development of pancreatic cancer (and liver cancer as well globally). 
     In fact, peanut farm 'workers' and their family members are among the 'hardest hit' when it comes to contracting and suffering from pancreatic cancer which is 'rapidly fatal'. 
     The tragic death of Billy Carter, past President Jimmy Carter's brother, brought the peanut-pancreatic cancer connection to the public's attention.  The Carters were 'peanut-farmers'.
"But in 1988, at the age of 51, he (Billy Carter) succumbed to the same pancreatic cancer which killed his father, his mother, and eventually his two sisters."

      Peanuts are often found to contain 'aflatoxins'.  These alflatoxins are produced by common molds: Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus.

     Aflatoxins affect corn, peanuts, cottonseed and other nuts should be one of the last things the United States consumer should have to worry about.

corn aflatoxin

http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/26_11899.htm
     Indeed, the FDA modestly 'addresses' this problem:

     But the truth is that given the ubiquitous nature of molds and aflatoxin, the truth is that the American  consumer is pretty much on their own when it comes to assuring food safety for themselves and their loved ones.

     The best one can 'do' is to be sure to shop for peanut butter brands which actually address the issue of bacterial and chemical contamination and then pay the extra amount for 'the better organic brand'.
     As importantly, rotate 'safe' brands, buy smaller amounts and for Heaven's sake do NOT feed your child peanut butter every day if you wish to lessen the chance of them succumbing to any food-related ailments.
     With this latest combination of potential Salmonella contamination as well as the ever-present possibility of aflatoxin presence, please be careful with what you eat.

note: there are many different 'subspecies' of Salmonella

Unilever Announces Recall of Skippy® Reduced Fat Peanut Butter Spread Due to Possible Health Risk Limited Recall of 6 Best-If-Used-By Dates
Media Contact: Anita Larsen 201-894-7760 Consumers: 800-453-3432
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - March 4, 2011 - Unilever United States, Inc. today announced a limited recall of Skippy® Reduced Fat Creamy Peanut Butter Spread and Skippy® Reduced Fat Super Chunk Peanut Butter Spread, because it may be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). No other Skippy® products are affected by this recall.
The product was distributed to retail outlets in Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The affected product, which is packaged in 16.3 oz plastic jars, is as follows:
UPCs: 048001006812 and 048001006782 (located on the side of the jar’s label below the bar code.)
Best-If-Used-By Dates: MAY1612LR1, MAY1712LR1, MAY1812LR1, MAY1912LR1, MAY2012LR1 and MAY2112LR1 (Stamped on the lid of the jar.)
To date, no illnesses related to this issue have been reported.
The recall was initiated as the result of a routine sampling program by the company, which revealed that these finished products may contain the bacteria.
Consumers who have purchased Skippy® Reduced Fat Peanut Butter Spread with the above UPCs and Best-If-Used-By-Dates are urged to discard the product immediately and call the company for a replacement coupon. Consumers can contact the company at 1-800-453-3432, which is operational 24 hours a day, for information on the recall. In addition, a consumer services representative is available Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 AM and 6:00 PM EST.

"Facial motion test of AFFETTO From: projectaffetto

February 06, 2011
Facial motion test of Affetto, which is an child robot that is currently under development in emergent robotics laboratory at Osaka university for simulating infant cognitive development. Its face is created realistically so as to be treated as a human being by human caregivers, not as a robot.

Dear Ones:     
     All these years, I thought only God could 'build a baby'. 
     But here we have 'Project Affetto' (trans: 'Project Affection') which is trying to do just that!
LINK: http://www.youtube.com/user/projectaffetto 
     "Minoru Asada, a professor of Adaptive Machine Systems at Osaka University in Japan and head of the JST ERATO Asada Project, along with two of his colleagues; Hisashi Ishihara, a PhD candidate at Osaka University; and Yuichiro Yoshikawa, from the Dept. of Adaptive Machine Systems at Osaka University have developed a child-like robot platform called Affetto."

     The Project is the first 'stages' of production, starting with the head, as we can see.

     Perhaps you'll be pleased to know that an announcement 6 hours ago from this publication informs us that Project Affetto is currently 'assembling the torso', so we won't just have a disembodied robo-baby head wobbling around on some lab bench or table top.
     What do you think about all this?  Any thoughts? 
     Is this an enlightened endeavor which can potentially assist in prostheses research, child care and health care 'training' and the like?
     Or is it potentially 'wrong', with the possibility of somehow providing a 'safe' way for certain souls to engage in 'robo-child abuse', as is their nature?
     It is well-established now that those who abuse animals 'go on to' abuse/maim/kill humans. 
     Perhaps the advent of 'lifelike' humanoid robo-technology will likewise provide a 'safe-yet-still-wrong' avenue for abusers, pedophiles, sex offenders and 'perverts' to get their jollies thinking they can do it with 'impunity' with lifelike robots of all types, genders and ages.
     This group will need to be well-heeled, of course, for personal ownership of the lifelike robots Japan is making it something for the very rich at this point. 
     Surely human 'progress' is unrelenting.  I confess to finding myself, after many years of study, doubt and skepticism, carefully supportive of some of the inroads made into robotic technology, in the field of surgery, for instance. 
     As with 'steering ratio' mechanics on cars, robotic surgical devices are configured to 'modulate' the motions of the human hand, thereby 'smoothing out' any shakiness and the occasional 'oops'.
     The risk of mishaps and 'slips' is minimized with robotic surgery in such a way that surgical procedures can be undertaken to the benefit of the patient, which could not be achieved using bare eyes and hands, alone.
     Just witness the success of the da Vinci Surgical System at Stamford Hospital and elsewhere around the world:

http://www.davincisurgery.com/davinci-surgery/

     The da Vinci is meeting with tremendous success, with the two caveats that: 1) a capable surgical team is standing by in the event of 'robo-failure' of any sort...And 2) that the surgical robot is under the direct control and supervision of humans, who are the ultimate care givers and decision-makers.

     The field of robotic bioethics is still in it's infancy.  Yet I can foresee a day soon when these 'responsive robots' who are imbued with 'decision-making capabilities' and seemingly true-to-life responses will indeed prove once and for all to have a 'mind of their own'.
     It is potentially possible that as robots become more capable of learning and approach a state of true sentience, that we humans will have our hands full with dealing with the bio and nanoethics of the situation.
     Perhaps a da Vinci will deliberately 'override' the operating surgeons 'command'.  Perhaps a teaching robot will learn to 'experience pain', learn to complain about it and refuse to participate any further in any 'teaching clinics'.   Perhaps a robo-soldier will one day 'refuse a direct order on moral grounds'...Who knows?
     It may be that unscrupulous 'programmers' will provide wanton killers on the battlefield, robo-prostitutes (Japan already has a 'sex doll prostitution' industry) and robo-victims for hire to those who enjoy inflicting pain and suffering on others.
     The field of robotics fairly screams of potential to the black market.  With robo-black box implants and robo-cams, one can only imagine what 'robo-blackmail' will be like, too. 
     Perhaps...could be...there are a lot of possibilities here, both good and bad, as far as lifelike human robots are concerned.
     God give us the grace and discernment to properly use the knowledge and skills He has so graciously given us to benefit all of humankind.
Blessings,
Reverend Barbara Sexton
