To address the burgeoning "loneliness epidemic" and the demands of an aging population, some think that we should deploy robotic caregivers. A new ad titled "B.E.N. (Biologically Engineered Nursing)," however, suggests that this is a dreadful idea. This five-minute ad was produced by the Society of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul (SSVP), an international Catholic voluntary organization that provides assistance to those in need. When the short story opens, we see a woman, Claudine, dancing with her robotic caregiver, BEN. From there, we travel back to the previous day, and we come to see how the pair came to their gloomy embrace.
