Patents, Ethics and Conflicts - The Fatal Choices

"Conflict builds character. Crisis defines it."
-Steven V. Thulon

"The three fundamental Rules of Robotics... One: a robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm... Two:..a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law... Three: a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First and Second Laws. "
-Isaac Asimov
