Abstract

In Be Right Back Martha's partner Ash is snatched away from her by an automobile accident. When, desperate and alone, she discovers that she is pregnant with Ash's child, she utilizes an emerging technology to bring him, or something like him, back. Would you replace your partner with a robotic likeness, maybe even make a few improvements? Should you?
