Fuck no.

A robot is a robot. It isn't alive, it can't do anything without the help of humans. That's what makes it a robot.

Hard to say, as the robot can be easily be reprogrammed.  A human's views/actions can change just as easily.  It's a tough call.

no, robots will never be able to have things like compassion and camaraderie, so will never really be as good as real people at anything except straightforward tasks
