Living with machines

In an article from the BBCnews.com, named "Can robots ever be like humans?", the author talks about the improvement in the making of robots more human like. Even though robots do not move or think like human does, they have been some improvements. They can now pick up objects, walk, "replicate a smooth sequence of movements".
But why do human needs more robots or even robots that act like human. They say that robots can be used "in the fields such as neuroscience". So why do they need them to be more human like?
Today's world is pushing us to think beyond the unthinkable, but sometime do we need what around us to make our lives easier to live?
A robot who can act, feel, walk like a human, what will be the use of this robot? Are we going to see in 50 years "interhumanrobot" couple with children half robot and half human?
When it comes to science, the imagination of scientists is sometime exaggerated. Scientists want to be the creator that they are not and will never be, instead of being one of the way to understand nature, human being, they want to create machines and then, understand them to better control them.
At this point humans do not need more being that they already have. What we need is to stop destroying what we have and stop inventing what we do not need.
