本文重点介绍了性能力与人类核心能力的关系，例如产生个人生活中有意义的故事的能力;身体，精神和情感健康;体验身体完整性;与他人联系和联系;感受和表达一系列人类情感;并选择生活计划。它提出了一个基于尊严的论点，即让老年人接触性爱机器人，作为合理努力的一部分，以支持他们在最低水平上的核心人类能力。这一论点逐步展开：（1）首先，我消除了年龄歧视和对晚年性行为的负面刻板印象，展示了它们在医学和科学中的深刻历史根源;（2）其次，我提出了一个积极的论点，基于正义的能力账户，为老年人部署性机器人残疾人;（3）最后，在回应反对意见后，我得出结论，性爱机器人是支持残疾人晚年性行为的合理方式。虽然经常被描述为年轻，身体健全的人的产品，但这篇论文是为了重新想象性爱机器人作为老年人，残疾人的产品。
This paper spotlights ways in which sexual capacities relate to central human capabilities, such as the ability to generate a personally meaningful story of one's life; be physically, mentally and emotionally healthy; experience bodily integrity; affiliate and bond with others; feel and express a range of human emotions; and choose a plan of life. It sets forth a dignity-based argument for affording older people access to sex robots as part of reasonable efforts to support their central human capabilities at a floor level. The argument develops stepwise: (1) first, I dispel ageism and negative stereotypes about later-life sexuality, showing their deep historical roots in medicine and science; (2) second, I set forth a positive argument, grounded in capability accounts of justice, for deploying sex robots for older people with disabilities; (3) finally, after responding to objections, I conclude that sex robots are a reasonable way to support later-life sexuality for persons with disabilities. While often depicted as a product for younger, able-bodied people, this paper is a bid for reimagining sex robots as a product for older, disabled people.
