QUOTE Robots could one day demand the same citizen's rights as humans, according to a study by the British government.
If granted, countries would be obliged to provide social benefits including housing and even "robo-healthcare", the report says. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

QUOTE If this happened, the report says, the robots would have certain responsibilities such as voting, the obligation to pay taxes, and perhaps serving compulsory military service. And then, once Haley's comet runs out of ice to drop in the ocean, we'll learn that robots are the cause of the new wave of global warming and President Nixon's head will hatch a plan to get rid of the meddlesome robots once and for all. -------------------- |
