What do you mean, 'even' human strength?!

Of course human strength is bloody dangerous!

Sorry.

It all depends, I think on two questions:

1) Do robots count as self-aware, and/or as living?
2) Do we have the right to control what they think?

And right now, I'm not even going to pretend to know the answer. I will say this though:

Why do we *need* robots that are so advanced that such laws would be necessary? Has anyone thought about the economic consequences? What about the moral questions? Finally, what about the Marvin Problem?
