The key design issue there would be: after the sexmotron has achieved its primary function, can it immediately switch gears to answer the question: “What are you thinking ?” 
The life expectancy of such" immortals" had been calculated in a previous thread on the basis of the current death rates from accidents, etc…
I don’t remember exactly the figure, but it was in the 500-800 years range.
And in the worst, that being uncaring is the best for them or become nihilists…

Indeed; but this assumes that an ‘immortal’ who suffers a fatal accident has no chance of recovery. Future medical technology may be sophisticated enough to reconstitute a deceased immortal from their inanimate corpse, or from previously recorded data. Full or incremental backups might be routine in an immortal society, making the longevity problem far more difficult.
Only for a finite period. Any geometric increase in population would sooner-or-later max out, with the expansion reaching the speed of light.
We are going to need a bigger transmission.
I’d say no control of breeding. How would we ever end up colonising space without the pressure of an expanding population? 
And, the cool aside, I think colonisation of space is important for not having all our eggs, literally, on one planet.
They did that back in '86, remember? Then they didn’t tell the less gifted people because…
Crap, never mind.
