I think it would just make wars more likely because the perceived cost in friendly human lives will be close to zero.

- onosendai 13y agoI believe you're right. The thing that probably stops most modern democratic nations from going to war, if we're being pragmatic, is the political backlash to its leaders stemming from the loss of citizen lives. If you remove this from the equation, nations will likely be more predisposed to engage in conflict; its leaders will be shielded from the most immediate downsides of war, and the population more predisposed to ignore it.
