[QUOTE=TWDuke] [Pedantry]F We are not under any moral obligation to accept inhuman death machines into society. [/QUOTE] Huh. Not yet. Wait till the Demoocrats get in. Then it’s going to be all about “differently manufactured persons” and “factory preset perceptions of morality for which they are not responsible”, and the kind of attitude quoted above will reflect plain old “Metallism” or as we now call it, “Componentism”. (Since Metallism implied you could only be discriminated against because of being metal, hard-drive cyborgs and ceramic robots prefer the broader term) Better get Robot Insurance. ---
