      "text": "For Latour, the relationship of people to machines is not reducible to the sum of its parts but rather adds up to a complex emergent agency. Beyond Winner’s concern over the embedding of social values in technologies, Latour deploys the notion of the delegation of humanness into technologies. Technological fixes can thus deskill people in a moral sense (Latour 1992). This process of deskilling acquires special relevance in the context of using carebots and how it can undermine human learning and development acquired in caregiving settings. Of special relevance here is Vallor’s work on the ethical implications of carebots in terms of a dimension that has been ignored within the literature, that is, “the potential moral value of caregiving practices for caregivers” (Vallor 2011, 251). By examining the goods internal to caring practices, she attempts to “shed new light on the contexts in which carebots might deprive potential caregivers of important moral goods central to caring practices, as well as those contexts in which carebots might help caregivers sustain or even enrich those practices, and their attendant goods” (Vallor 2011, 251).",
