I'm a private pilot and I've always wondered if planes flying could be the first instance of a computer taking direct action to end someones life. What I mean by that, if a plane encounters a bird strike like in 1549 (sullenberger) and the computer evaluates the options of where to ditch if it can not return or find an alternate area. I assume it will try to minimize the total loss of life, both ground and passengers. Would the computer choose a less populated place that had a lower probability of success than one with a higher chance of success but potential larger loss of life if something went wrong? Self preservation is a powerful instinct for humans, and I don't know how I feel about this problem.
