It's not a philosophical issue and I'm not a philosopher, and to be blunt, I find this kind of glib dismissal of concerns irritating because it is obviously motivated by ignorance, rather than knowledge, and perhaps a bit of sexism on top. For the record, I am a post-doc researcher in a project whose goal is to develop autonomous capabilities for a search-and-rescue craft, I'm the person who is primarily responsible for the development of the autonomous capabilities, and I can assure you that there is no philosophy involved in the issues I have to deal with in my day-to-day job, whatsoever. I was also unaware that what I do is cool, but thanks for letting me know. I don't understand what the rest of your comment is saying. We have different kinds of systems that kill indiscriminately- so, what? We should be making more because that's OK then?
