In the episode "Black Mirror: Be Right Back", the two lovers , Ash and Martha, moves into a house together. Ash leaves to do something while Martha stayed at the house finishing her work. She calls him but he never answered and soon finds out that Ash died. She is greatly upset by his death and her friend tries to tell her about a new service that'll let her talk to her deceased boyfriend. She didn't want to do it but her friend signs her up anyway saying that it will help her feel better. She wasn't going to use the program to talk to him until she found out that she was pregnant. She wanted to tell him that so she started talking to him through this program and Ash tells her about a better way to help her. She agrees and ended up receiving a robot that she activated in the tub and it looked exactly like her late lover. She was happy at first but started noticing the differences between the robot Ash and the human Ash. She started getting frustrated with the robot Ash because although he looked like human Ash, he showed barely any emotion and doesn't act exactly like the Ash she knew. As time flew by, Martha's daughter grew and the robot Ash now lives in the attic but Martha doesn't seem happy for him to be there constantly reminding her of her late boyfriend. On the other hand, Robots like Ash 2.0 resembles a human quite well and can learn things like an human. Although robots like Ash 2.0 needs help learning, they shouldn't be treated differently from other humans.

  1. If Martha wasn't happy in the end with Ash 2.0, why did she keep him? Why not just make him jump of the cliff?
