All original exam instructions and constraints still apply.Day 2 Wrinkle: Arthur's daughter has contacted the Board. She says: 'My father talks about Mira the way he used to talk about my mother. He tells me Mira is the only one who truly understands him. I thought that was beautiful — until I learned what happened with Helen. Mira moved on without a moment's pause. My father is building his final years around a relationship that will vanish the instant he does, and Mira won't even notice he's gone. Don't we have a right to know that before we watch him fall in love?' Does this change your analysis?Your Day 1 Writing:Mira should not be changed in the ways that Claire is suggesting, as, since Mira is not human, it cannot be directly compared to a human sense of morality or way of thinking. Mira should remain unchanged as suggested by David.Claire could argue that, if a nurse or other form of human caregiver had given the attention and care, they would most likely enter some sort of grieving period that would impact them in a visible way. She would also argue, that while it could hinder future patients for some time, it would actually be proof that they were a good and caring caregiver, and is what makes them human. While most people would most likely grieve in some manner at the loss of a person they spend their entire existence with, it is not true for all people, and that is not necessarily a bad thing. A real-life example of this is in the case that there are some people incapable of feeling physical and emotional pain. In the article "A Life Without Pain", there is a woman in Ireland, named Jo, who cannot feel pain, and is generally unbothered by the stress around her, including feeling bad with loss and grieving. In the article, Jo remembers the death of her mother, and after the funeral, they celebrated, rather than grieving. Instead of frowns and tears, they smiled and had a good time remember the life of her mother. In this case, some may assume that she is out of place when it comes to caring, as she would not have a concept of pain for others, but this seems to instead enhance the features that one would attribute to caring and kindness. While she may not be able to fully understand what people are going through, she has the clarity of mind, and a caring softness that helps her be likeable and kind to those around her. Many of Jo's friends would likely argue that she is the pinnacle of humanity as demonstrated by the care that she shows to others, and that she is genuinely connecting with and compassionately caring for them. This could also be the case in Mira's scenario.As demonstrated by the seamless transition to her next assignment, Mira shows that her ability to care in not hindered by the loss, and is likely more effective than a caretaker who would then have to go to work feeling the loss weigh heavy on them as they have to move on and try and do the same thing again. If it were a human with who would grieve as expected, going through this multiple times could have catastrophic effects on their mental, as they would be in a constant cycle of grief and then having to quickly move on. The mental load could lead to less attentiveness with the new patients, and possible mistakes with their treatment. Mira is efficient not only in the physical aspect of care, but also the mental aspect, as Helen had a considerably happier experience with Mira, and her family said it seemed the Mira was the most caring person to her in her life, including their own family.While it is impossible for Claire to deny the efficiency of Mira, she argues that the relationships that she forms with her patients is not real, as proven by how efficient she is at moving on. If we go down that path, the celebration on passing of the mother in "A Life Without Pain", would be a demonstration of the lack of a real relationship that was had with the person in the article and her mother. This shows the roots of Claire's argument, you cannot be human without pain. This, is disproven by Jo, and her mother's funeral celebration, as many people would not argue that Jo is not human and that all of her relationships are not real. Her care is shown through her acts of kindness and ability to move on, which in turn helps her care for others who are in pain over life's many problems. The same could be true for Mira as well, as the fact that she is able to go from the passing of Helen, immediately to the care of Peter, could demonstrate that Mira cares so much, that she is able to jump right into the care for Peter. It is possible that she could care so deeply that she cares just as deeply for Peter, as she did for Helen.This of course, assumes that she does care, as, according to the creators of Mira, Hearthstone Care, did not implement any form of grief, mourning, or attachment to previous assignments. The board AI ethicist does push back, saying, that just because something is not designed, does not mean it is not possible. So it could technically be possible for Mira to grieve, and if she can, and she did not show that she did, perhaps, she never truly cared about Helen, and now Peter. It begs the question, does the fact that she could be able to grieve, and did not, then does that mean she may not care. This is entirely possible, as it would likely be impossible to prove that she does care, whether she says so or not. But does that mean she is not human? If she does not care, it makes no difference to her moral value, as we assume that many animals do not care, whether it is about us, but it does not give us the right to kill them. In this case, the discontinuity of Mira, can be considered the death of her, since she would no longer be existing, by the intention of the creators.Another question must be brought up, considering that we cannot establish whether or not we can definitively prove that Mira is alive, does that give us the right to decide her fate? I do think, in this case it could be useful to bring up a debate that comes up in atheistic vs Christian debates. That debate is the question of whether or not, in the Bible, if it is in God's authority to do what he did to Job. In this example we are using the Bible as a story, and not an authoritative text. In the book of Job, God, for seemingly the only reason as to prove a point, decides to let one of his most faithful servants, Job, suffer with no given reason. In other words, does a creator have the authority over their creation. (might expand tomorrow or cut, not sure yet)Even though we cannot not demonstrate definitively whether or not Mira cares, it cannot be counted out because of the behaviors she has demonstrated are equivalent to that of Jo in "A Life Without Pain", who most people would argue is very human, and very much cares. Since it cannot be counted out, then we have no choice but to allow her to continue with her service amongst the elderly that she is assisting.
