| Seriously, It's not just the stuff of Sci-Fi films like the Matrix and Terminator anymore. Recently, there have been some fantastic advances in robotics, but with that comes an ethical grey area. | |

Right, history is repeating itself, isn't it?
So, where do I see the ethical line here? I'm actually seeing the same theme presented in the
Battlestar Galactica series repeating itself, i.e. man trying to play "god" and create life. Robotic creatures, which man wants to use as good obedient puppets, basically for military purposes, but we're not far from seeing this stuff in everyday activities too: robots butlers, robots to provide inexpensive working hands, etc.
While such a scenario seems far away, I wouldn't be surprised if these would one day rise up and revolt against their oppressive masters - humans.
