Where do you draw the line between robots and slavery?

Asked by jfos (7392points) June 29th, 2010

Inspired by this question asked by @ETPro

(Leaving out the already-existant ubiqitous machinery that makes our lives easier, or at least, makes work more efficient) What if it were possible to purchase robots to do work at your home, or on farms, or run errands, or go to work for you, or have a job somewhere and pay you the wages it earns?

Is that too close to slavery to be considered morally acceptable, or is it OK since robots aren’t people?
