@DocSavage this is a possible answer to a question I asked the other day.

What is your solution? Program the belief in a god, so the robot will believe it has a moral obligation to stay in the room ?
Or more simple, as a self aware life form, it decides it has the right to choose it’s own destiny. Would you deny any, intelligent being that right, if you could trust it enough not to destroy everything and everyone around it ?
The movie, Blade Runner , addresses the question. The Artificial people had self awareness, but no choice, or control of their destiny. In time they did learn free will, and morality. But, they were still slaves to their creators.
We’re they wrong to rebel ?

@DocSavage I didn't have a solution. I'm just curious how a programmer's possible solutions would parallel human attempts to control behavior. Or, how similar they would be to "god's" programming. Whether you say god or nature, there is clearly a force that created us, and it seems to have "programmed" us to behave within certain parameters in order to ensure survival.
unless the artificial beings can be cheaply mass-produced, it wouldn't be wise to let them figure things out on their own.
I haven't seen Blade Runner, but I'm assuming that, if they rebelled, it was because they were being mistreated. In this case, it's not a matter of programming, but how they are treated by their creators.

@DocSavage Actually, this post was inspired by some goofy song I heard on the radio at work. One of the lines was, [quote]Hey little devil I'm gonna make an angel out of you[/quote]
