" Thus the consequences are numerous and often unforeseen and therefore it is not a sound argument to claim that a singe reason is "alone" enough to justify the future development in military robotics. In addition, the tendency is that we are going to have less and less control over the kill-bots which are going to take more and more autonomous decisions about who is to live and who is to die. Eventually, the process will probably end up completely automated and, at that point, machine will be the judge of human life and death.
