Asimo, my companion! When I am old, you will look after me. You will pass me my food, hand me drinks, organise my medication. Perhaps you will read to me, make me laugh. In the end you will wash me and apply cream and perfume. Unembarrassed, I shall let all this happen. Will I also be able to trust you?
