Why I'm saying no to 'necrobotics'

I am a robotics booster. I believe that smart robots will have a positive impact, helping us deal with some of the challenges that humanity will continue to face over the next several decades – from climate change to food production, from shelter to entertainment. Basically, I'm optimistic about the role robots can have in our lives. However, every now and then I run into specific areas that give me pause, and the emerging field (?) of necrobotics is one of them. In case you're wondering, necrobotics means turning dead tissue into (parts of) a robot.
