Thanks for care about this issue that will be important in a short future (in my opinion).

I think that we should think and reflect before start making the robots, because without ethic there is no order, and if we give artificial intelligence to a robot without giving some laws to he obey and explaining why should he practice the good and punish the bad, he will start wonder why he has to obey, and then he might revolts.
