Unfortunately they have become part of the plan for aged care. To provide intimate relationships. Seriously.

I understand the thought of it. But where is the human touch, or compassion from another human being?
At this point, I don't think robots have consciousness, and so no moral presence.
But, it seems quite possible in the future they will. At that point, yes, it would be discrimination to deny them basic 'human' rights.

I'm somewhat disappointed by that link, I expected sex-bots for the elderly

Probably not
To me robots are inanimate objects and can be treated like any other inanimate object.

Humans command a hefty cost for supplying that.
Robots will work for synthetic peanuts.

The nurses/doctors earn it because of their skills with humans and their knowledge of how to help. I would not let a robot take care of my family members

I don’t want a robot taking care of my member either.
But someone must pay, & that bill is expensive.
Also, some of us advancing in age would rather
avoid all that unwanted human intimate care.
I'd rather have my feeding tube be handled by
a machine. Humans can visit me...but only for
social purposes.
That's just one, with variations on a theme...it makes no difference.
Would you say it is discrimination or racism to say no to Robots in the home or in the society?
Robots to me is this.

I think it would depend on whether we get to a point where robots are self-aware. Boy, that opens up a whole new can of worms, doesn't it?
And for your killer 'haggis' recipe book.
