Killing Ethics

From a post, yesterday, on Slashdot (I’m using screen caps to preserve Slashdot’s quote formatting):

The linked NY Times article requires login, which I refuse to do. If you want to read it, go to the Slashdot article and click the link (the above is an image, not text that I can format).

Here is one response (of many) that touches on just a few of the many, many problems with the concept of battlefield robots:

[Again, the above is an screen cap image.]

Why anybody would try to promote these things on the basis of “ethics” is beyond me.

Link to the Slashdot thread is here: [ link ]
